Gaylor Creek Church Lyrics by Billy Don Burns

Nights When I’m Sober (Portrait of a Honky Tonk Singer)

0

[Verse 1]
My favorite memories are some of my first
Like a Sunday night meetin' at an old country church
Sometimes my grandparents, they would come and take me
To an old country church house on Gaylor Creek
[Verse 2]
We all knew our neighbors, everyone there was friends
And the preacher worked in the timber like all other men
We were baptized in water, we were washed in the blood
Don't remember much money but I recall lots of love
[Chorus]
And that church was a long time ago, yeah I'm talkin' distance and years
I'm not for certain that I could even get there from here
But on nights when I'm sober, not blinded by all that I see
My mind washes up at that church on Gaylor Creek
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
So many barrooms, so many strangers
Women and whiskey, so many dangers
That old honky tonk highway, that's a wild horse to rope
Son, I've seen enough neon to circle the globe
[Chorus]
And that church was a long time ago, yeah I'm talkin' distance and years
I'm not for certain that I could even get there from here
But on nights when I'm sober, not blinded by all that I see
My mind washes up at that church on Gaylor Creek
