[Intro]
C# F# C# G# x2
[Verse]
C# F#
There’s a house down where Church meets State
C# G#
The oak on the corner stands proud
C# F#
Tucked inside of those old four walls
C# G# C#
Are the best friends that I have now
C# F#
Out in her pink rocking chair, “A” is wise
C# G#
She stomps her boots to the rhythms that we make
C# F#
We listen to her wisdom unwind
C# G# C#
As she ages like a deep red wine
C# F#
“M” went out to a nation in need
C# G#
She gave her hands to the work of good out there
C# F#
Her heart is stout, her temper is short, but
C# G# C#
You won’t find one like her just anywhere
So we sing
C# F#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# G#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# F#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# G# C#
Looord bless that old house
C# F#
“G”s got a songbird wrapped in her heart
C# G#
With a story that she may never tell
C# F#
How she fell in love with a boy from the bar
C# G# C#
And their love saved his soul from the depths of hell
So we sing
C# F#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# G#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# F#
Oooo~oooo~oooo~oooooo
C# G# C#
Looord bless that old house
C# F#
There’s a house down where Church meets State
C# G#
The oak on the corner stands proud
C# F#
Tucked inside of those old four walls
C# G# F# G# C#
Are the best friends that I have now
For The Close Strum Down To G# Instead Of Back Up,
Then Up To C#
