From the recording Girl God and a Guitar
Lyrics
Dust on the boots, storm in the sky
I was runnin' on empty, barely gettin' by
Used to think pain was part of the plan
Just whiskey and silence, that made me a man
Woke up each day with a weight on my chest
No one to lean on, no time for rest
But outta that shadow, she came like a spark
With a smile like sunrise, and love in her heart
Girl, God, and a guitar
Put the pieces back in this broken heart
She gave me six strings, and a second start
Played my way to grace from a world torn apart
I found my light in the dark
With a girl, God, and a guitar
She saw the soul I'd buried deep
Said "Let it out boy, you've gotta believe
Strummed that Gibson she handed me
Felt somethin' holy in G major three
Now the bottle's gone, and so is the pain
I'm singin' His name in a soft refrain
Girl, God, and a guitar
Put the pieces back in this broken heart
She gave me six strings, and a second start
Played my way to grace from a world torn apart
I found my light in the dark
With a girl, God, and a guitar
Now I play for the lost, for the ones in the fight
Let 'em hear hope in every line
Girl, God, and a guitar
Put the pieces back in this broken heart
She gave me six strings, and a second start
Played my way to grace from a world torn apart
I found my light in the dark
With a girl, God, and a guitar
Just a girl, God, and a guitar
That's how I found who I really are
