Verse 1

Mama put a Bible in my hands
And daddy put my hands in the dirt
I grew up in the heart of the heartland
With a vintage Johnny Cash on my shirt

Verse 2

I learned the truth from Grandad’s vinyl
And a preacher down on river road
If you care to know anything about me
I’ll tell you everything you need to know

Chorus

I’m hallelujah hands high
And friends in low places
Red white and blue and red letter pages
Back row pew and front seat Ford
New king James and old king George
I’m washed in the water
And mud on the tires
I’m Friday night lights
And Sunday morning choir
I’m prayers up to Heaven
Roots down in Kentucky
Made by God and country

Verse 3

Always been and will be my true north
When it feels like the world’s going south
It is well with my soul
Where the green grass grows
On some hometown holy ground

Chorus

I’m hallelujah hands high
And friends in low places
Red white and blue and red letter pages
Back row pew and front seat Ford
New king James and old king George
I’m washed in the water
And mud on the tires
I’m Friday night lights
And Sunday morning choir
I’m prayers up to Heaven
Roots down in Kentucky
Made by God and country

Interlude

Made by God and country

Chorus

I’m hallelujah hands high
And friends in low places
Red white and blue and red letter pages
Back row pew and front seat Ford
New king James and old king George
I’m grace given free
And a hard earned dollar
Child of the King
And a coal miner’s daughter
I’m prayers up to Heaven
Roots down in Kentucky

Tag

I got a good life down here
And a better one waitin’ up above me
Made by God and country

Outro

God and country
