I’m just a singer standing on a stage
Following the footsteps of those who led the way
When the dance floor is busy I sell a lot of beer
In the barrooms and the honky-tonks fifty weeks a year
I do the favourites everybody knows
Waltzes and Two-steps and a whole lot that I wrote
It’s after midnight and Saturday is gone
It’s Sunday morning, I’m drunk, now here’s a gospel song:
In the Church of Country Music there’s an alter in the sky
This is where we come to praise the singers throughout all time
Above the voices of the great ones there is a throne
In the Church of Country Music we believe in George Jones
I’ve been playing Possum all night long
If it weren’t for last call I’d sing ‘till dawn
The race is on just to do you every song I know
But unlike my hero: I never miss a show
I say a prayer every time I step out in the lights
Thank you for the music and may I treat it right
Bless the boys in the band they’re everything I’ve got
When it comes to music I’m strictly orthodox
In the Church of Country Music there’s an alter in the sky
This is where we come to praise the singers throughout all time
Above the voices of the great ones there is a throne
In the Church of Country Music we believe in George Jones
Freedom of religion that is your choice
Bow down your head or raise up your voice
You might be a believer or maybe you don’t know
In the end you’ll have to find your answer on your own
I have a creed to which I stand true:
I’ll never sing seven songs without a hurtin’ tune
I’ve made peace with the music that I chose
Forgive me Merle Haggard but I believe in Jones
I’ve made peace with the music that I chose
Forgive me Hank Williams but I believe in George Jones
