So much of Outdoor Elvis criticizes evangelical culture that it’s important to include a song like “Hold Back the Wind, Donna,” which acknowledges that there are Christians who are doing the right thing, against every impediment.
[Verse 1]
It's the little things you do

Stand in the breach with us, Donna
And hold back the devil wind
Yeah, hold back the wind
