Church Parking Lot
A small town revolved around
A piece of blacktop holy ground
Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights
Circled up after Friday night lights
Never learned all the words to the verse on the sign outside
But we lived a lot of life between painted white lines
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
In that church parkin' lot
The baptizin', the flags flyin'
The fireworks on the Fourth of July
Pot luck and all the fixings
Granny made her famous fried chicken
Sang "Amazing Grace," broke bread, and we drank the wine
We lived a lot of life between painted white lines
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
In that church parkin' lot
In that church parkin' lot
I've seen it all, it's been a blessin'
Brand-new babies and white dress weddings
For the troops that didn't make it back
Black umbrellas and black Cadillacs
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
And God knows I owe all I got
To that church parkin' lot
Yeah, that church parkin' lot
A piece of blacktop holy ground
Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights
Circled up after Friday night lights
Never learned all the words to the verse on the sign outside
But we lived a lot of life between painted white lines
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
In that church parkin' lot
The baptizin', the flags flyin'
The fireworks on the Fourth of July
Pot luck and all the fixings
Granny made her famous fried chicken
Sang "Amazing Grace," broke bread, and we drank the wine
We lived a lot of life between painted white lines
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
In that church parkin' lot
In that church parkin' lot
I've seen it all, it's been a blessin'
Brand-new babies and white dress weddings
For the troops that didn't make it back
Black umbrellas and black Cadillacs
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
Smoked out my best friend's truck
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna be when we grow up
The same place where she first kissed me
The same place where we broke up
Thinkin' young love lasts forever, but it never does
Lookin' back, I learned more than I thought
Like how to love and cuss and talk to God
And God knows I owe all I got
To that church parkin' lot
Yeah, that church parkin' lot
