Here We Are (In Jesus Country)

It was a crisp December morning
Love was in the air but no one knew
Two witnesses and a preacher, a couple of rings
Is all you need to say "I do"

When we landed down in Nashville
Our only reservation was a car
This gentleman filled it up, he said "God bless
I hope this will get you far"

As we left the city lights and hit the country side
Something shifted in my heart
I'm so used to being the only one in the room
Who believes in God

And here we are, in Jesus country
We're in love, in Jesus country

We met a pretty lady in Tupelo
She introduced herself a health nut and a fan
She said "No good woman will keep her husband's name
Once she's off with another man"

And with all the things we agreed the King done wrong
She was sure he never lied
She was pregnant with her baby girl when she heard the news
And she hung her head and cried

Here we are, in Jesus country
We're in love, in Jesus country

At a Waffle house near Montgomery
The radio was playing a familiar song
It was from my favourite movie and I asked the waitress
"Do you mind if I sing along?"

It turned out she knew all the lines, she saw it many times
And I showed her my tattoos
She said "the very day I retire from this job
I will get them too"

Here we are, in Jesus country
We're in love, in Jesus country
Here we are, in Jesus country
We're in love, in Jesus country

Here we are, here we are
Aaahhhaahhh
