church at gaylor creek

well my favorite memories are some of my first

like a sunday night meeting at an old country church

sometimes my grandparents would come and take me

to an old country church house on old gaylor creek

we all knew our neighbors

everyone there was friends

and the preacher worked the timber like all other men

we were baptized by water

we were washed in the blood

i don't remember much money

but recall lots of love

that church was a long time ago

i'm talkin' distance and years

i'm not for certain that i could even get there from here

but on nights when i'm sober

not blinded by all that i see

my mind washes up at that church on old gaylor creek

so many of bar rooms

so many strangers

women

whiskey

so many dangers

that old honky tonk highway

that's a wild horse to rope

son

i've seen enough neon

to circle the globe

that church was a long time ago

i'm talkin' distance and years

but i'm not for certain that i could even get there from here

but on nights when i'm sober

not blinded by all that i see

my mind washes up at that church on old gaylor creek

my mind washes up that church at gaylor creek
