God and the Ground She Walked On

[Verse 1]
He wears the same suit every Sunday
She's not there to straighten his tie
He'll be back in the fields come Monday
Where he spent most of his life
Now, we thought he came 'cause she made him
At least that's what we used to say
But he's there every time the doors open
So he can see her again someday

[Chorus]
So he stands up and sings "Rock of Ages"
He fumbles to find her songs
He feels her turnin' the pages
Like she was right there readin' along
He puts his tithe in the offerin'
Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone
That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on

[Verse 2]
Every morning he walks through her garden
He's not real sure what it needs
She knew how to make it blossom
So every day, he waters and weeds
His son wants to move him to Phoenix
The bank says they'll buy back his home
But he pretends that he doesn't hear 'em
'Cause he'd never leave her alone

[Chorus]
So he stands up and sings "Rock of Ages"
He fumbles to find her songs
He feels her turnin' the pages
Like she was right there readin' along
And he puts his tithe in the offerin'
Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone
Yeah, that old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on
That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on

[Outro]
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
