Those old cotton fields I worked in, aint so far away When I looked back it seems like only yesterday But with your help I find myself, miles away from there Thank you Lord for answering this county singers prayer Those old honky tonks and one night stands were good for me They brought me close to people and they helped me see That an old guitar can take folks far away from all their cares Thank you Lord for answering this county singers prayer You gave me what I needed, to make my dreams come true Call it faith or lucky breaks, It all comes from you Now our planes about to land and the car will come In a couple of hours well play the auditorium And I like to think that while I sing your watching from somewhere And Thank you Lord for answering this county singers prayer Now I gotta go to do my show for all the folks out there And Thank you Lord for answering this county singers prayer
