There's a place dear to me
Where I'm longing to be
With my friends at the old country church
There with mother we went
And our Sundays were spent
With my friends at the old country church
Precious years of memories
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the old country church
As a small country boy
How my heart beat with joy
When I knelt in the old country church
And the savior above
By his wonderful love
Saved my soul in the old country church
Precious years of memories
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the old country church
How I wish that today
All the people would pray
As they prayed in the old country church
If they'd only confess
Jesus surely would bless
As he did in the old country church
Precious years of memories
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the old country church
Precious years of memories
Oh, what joy they bring to me
How I long once more to be
With my friends at the old country church
With my friends at the old country church

Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven?
Now you tell me that there are streets of gold and angels in the air
Now all that's fine and dandy and I'm sure it's nice up there
There's just one thing that I need to know 'fore I settle down
Can I take my hounds to heaven
Can I hunt on God's ground
Now you say if I quit drinking and try to toe the line
I can make it up to glory at the end of my life
Now whiskey's hard to throw away something I might try to do
If I could spend forever running round treeing coon's
But if I can't take my hound's to heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
Then I'd rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
Now I'll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
Now you say if I quit smoking and my rough and rowdy ways
We'd walk together forever on streets of gold someday
But the only way I can stand it now and I hate to say it's true
Is when you start your bitchin'
I can run off and hunt till my face turns blue
If I can't take my dogs to heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
I'd rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
Now I'll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
Now all that's fine and dandy and I'm sure it's nice up there
There's just one thing that I need to know 'fore I settle down
Can I take my hounds to heaven
Can I hunt on God's ground
Now you say if I quit drinking and try to toe the line
I can make it up to glory at the end of my life
Now whiskey's hard to throw away something I might try to do
If I could spend forever running round treeing coon's
But if I can't take my hound's to heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
Then I'd rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
Now I'll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
Now you say if I quit smoking and my rough and rowdy ways
We'd walk together forever on streets of gold someday
But the only way I can stand it now and I hate to say it's true
Is when you start your bitchin'
I can run off and hunt till my face turns blue
If I can't take my dogs to heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
I'd rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
Now I'll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
If I can take my hounds to heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground

Purgatory
Will you pray for me
When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the grave where they lay me low
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When I's a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
you reckon he lets free will
Boys mope around in purgatory
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'
But I've heard tale
Of a middle ground, I think will work for me
When the time has come for changin' worlds
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When the roots of the oak and my ribcage are braidin'
If I can think
Lord knows that I will fondly pray for you
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the grave where they lay me low
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
When I's a boy
I'd drink and love and smoke and snort my fill
But all the while
I kept in mind the Lord's redeeming grace
High on the hill where the fox horns blow
And down in the city where the heathens go
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven
you reckon he lets free will
Boys mope around in purgatory
I know that Hell
Is just as real as I am surely breathin'
But I've heard tale
Of a middle ground, I think will work for me
When the time has come for changin' worlds
I'll hedge my bets with a Catholic girl
Catholic girl, pray for me
You're my only hope for Heaven

Way of the Triune God
Gimme that old time screamin' and a-shoutin' (go up)
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
I don't need the pills you take
Just to feel the spirit movin'
Brother, I ain't slept in days
All without the drugs you're usin'
Fit me for the builder's use
Use me for the great commission
As it was and always will
As it is, I'm here to witness
Old time screamin' and a-shoutin' (go up)
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
I don't need the laws of man
To tell me what I ought to do
He reached down and touched my hand
And gave me quite a talkin' to
Gave it to me strict in charge
Somethin' simple I could ponder
'Til the role is called on high
'Til we all meet over yonder
Old time screamin' and a-shoutin' (go up)
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
I don't need the pills you take
Just to feel the spirit movin'
Brother, I ain't slept in days
All without the drugs you're usin'
Fit me for the builder's use
Use me for the great commission
As it was and always will
As it is I'm here to witness
Jesus said he'd go before
And come back when the house was finished
All this sin and wagin' war
My God's comin' any minute
Old time screamin' and a-shoutin' (go up)
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
Gimme that old time screamin' and a-shoutin' (go up)
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
Way of the triune God
Way of the triune God
Go up, tell it on the mountain
Faith too strong to be left doubtin'
Way of the triune God
I don't need the pills you take

Brother, I ain't slept in days
All without the drugs you're usin'
Fit me for the builder's use
Use me for the great commission

Angel Band
Hallelujah, jubilee
Hallelujah, jubilee
He stands behind the pulpit
He's calling out a line
Responds to congregation
Just a little way's behind
Echoes down the streets of gold
Through the Pearly Gates
Dribbles over the Jordan
And it goes on by the banks
He's rattling a Werther's
On his dentures in the pew
He's holding down the bass
It's a little out of tune
But his heart is in the hymnal
And that's all a boy can do
Make a joyful sound
'Til the rest have come to roost
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst them
When I reach the glory land
She's shouting in the aisle
She's shaking something fierce
Feels so good to be here
After all these faithful years
Just took a walk with Jesus
Just touched his nail-scarred hands
Didn't even bother her
That he ain't a blue-eyed man
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst them
When I reach the glory land
There's Hindus, Jews, and Muslims
And Baptists of all kinds
Catholic girls and Amish boys
Who've left their plows behind
Up there in the choir
Singing side by side
Wondering why exactly
They been fussing the whole time
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
I was blind but now I see
And I'll jump right in amongst them
When I reach the glory land
Hallelujah, jubilee
Hallelujah, jubilee
I can hear the angel band
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, jubilee
He stands behind the pulpit
He's calling out a line
Responds to congregation
Just a little way's behind
Echoes down the streets of gold
Through the Pearly Gates

And it goes on by the banks

Heart Youve Been Tendin
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
Ain't no way to fake it
No way around it
No time to tear it
And there ain't no excuse
And it ain't that hard
When you get down to it
Only tool that you'll need
Only one that you'll use
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
At the start or the endin' you'll be cast in the wild
You'll either go through like you know what you're doin'
Or run around aimless and scared like a child
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
Now hearts they can wilt
When they're left in the window
Without any shade
From the sun beatin' down
And they ain't maintained and kept in water
But it's the only thing that you'll take to the ground
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
At the start or the endin' you'll be cast in the wild
You'll either go through like you know what you're doin'
Or run around aimless and scared like a child
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
It'll show in your stride and the songs you been singin'
It'll give you some pride and then further along
When you've left it all
It can help someone else get back to their home
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
At the start or the endin' you'll be cast in the wild
You'll either go through like you know what you're doin'
Or run around aimless and scared like a child
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
Ain't no way to fake it
No way around it
No time to tear it
And there ain't no excuse
And it ain't that hard
When you get down to it
Only tool that you'll need
Only one that you'll use
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
At the start or the endin' you'll be cast in the wild
You'll either go through like you know what you're doin'
Or run around aimless and scared like a child
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take
All that you'll take is the heart you've been tendin'
Now hearts they can wilt
When they're left in the window

All that you'll take
