lyrics

When the high times have left you ragged and wrong.
When your only salvation is an old country song.

When friends leave you lonely and living is grim,
then sing to the moonlight a solemn old hymn.

Make a church in the alley, a church in your car.
Give a testimony at a dingy dive bar.
There's no need to worry about how good you are,
because singing just feels good and livin' is hard.

When nothing comes easy and you're feelin' real ruff,
cry out little darlin' that's powerful stuff.

When love becomes bitter and there's nowhere to turn,
shout like a critter, it's ok to mourn.

Make a church in the alley, a church in your car.
Giver your testimony at a dingy dive bar.
There's no need to worry about how good you are,
because singing just feels good and livin' is hard.

When money is bone dry, you ain't got a thing
break into chorus with your own primal scream.

When the year have all gone by, you're tired and weak
whisper a sweet verse that will put you to sleep.

Make a church in the alley, a church in your car.
Giver your testimony at a dingy dive bar.
There's no need to worry about how good you are,
because singing just feels good and livin' is hard.

Singing just feels good and livin' is hard.
