Up There Down Here

I’m more four-letter word than a Sunday prayer
More a backroad than a front pew
Ain’t always been tight with the man upstairs
Them scriptures, I can quote a few

She’s a cross on a chain and red wine stain
On her Mamaw’s hand me down bible
I heart Tennessee, John 3:16 on the bumper of a White Chevy Tahoe

She’s a little up there, down here
Puts a little King James in my John Deere
Thank the Lord the girl’s got my back
Hangs her halo by my Carhartt hat
I’m a raise a little hell, she’s heaven on earth
The grace to my grit and the rain on my dirt
I’m a little down-home, cold beer
She’s a little up there, down here
Amen
Amen

She’s an FM hymn with her hand in the wind
Little Saint in my shotgun seat
It’s like G.O.D. heard an S.O.S.
I’m one lucky S.O.B.

Yeah I could see me and her in a stained-glass church
“Just Married” cans rollin’ down a highway
Yeah, when life gets a little bit sideways

She’s a little up there, down here
Puts a little King James in my John Deere
Thank the Lord the girl’s got my back
Hangs her halo by my Carhartt hat
I’m a raise a little hell, she’s heaven on earth
The grace to my grit and the rain on my dirt
I’m a little down-home, cold beer
She’s a little up there, down here
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

She’s a little up there, down here
Puts a little King James in my John Deere
Holy water in my 90 proof
Little angel in my Red Wing boots

She’s a little up there, down here
Puts a little King James in my John Deere
Thank the Lord the girl’s got my back
Hangs her halo by my Carhartt hat
I’m a raise a little hell, she’s heaven on earth
The grace to my grit and the rain on my dirt
I’m a little down-home, cold beer
She’s a little up there, down here

I’m a little down-home, cold beer
She’s a little up there, down here

Amen
Amen
Amen
