Mistress Named Music Red Rocks Medley (Live) - Eric Church

I still remember Miss Bessie singing Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it Married to a dream with a mistress named music No hope and squarely solitary Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me Even that cop car rolling past By the time they hit the front door I was out the back With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride I got a crazy heart, and I was born to lose it Married to a dream with a mistress named music White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon These same old boots are still tapping time Not quite the buzz I used to tie on But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride I got a crazy heart, and I was born to lose it Married to a dream with a mistress named music Yeah, I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music

I have this confidence because I've seen the faithfulness of God The still inside the storm, the promise of the shore I trust the power of Your word Enough to seek Your kingdom first Beyond the barren place, beyond the ocean waves When I walk through the waters I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers I will not be drowned My God will make a way so I am not afraid You keep the promises You make There isn't one that is delayed So I will not lose heart, here I will lift my arms And start to sing into the night My praise will call the sun to rise Declare the battle won, declare that it is done When I walk through the waters I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers I will not be drowned My God will make a way so I am not afraid When I am in the fire I will not feel the flames I'll stand before the giant, declaring victory My God will make a way, so I am not afraid Before me, behind me, always beside me No shadow, no valley where you won't find me I am not afraid No, I am not afraid Before me, behind me, always beside me No shadow, no valley where you won't find me No, I am not afraid No, I am not afraid When I walk through the waters I won't be overcome When I go through the rivers I will not be drowned My God will make a way so I am not afraid I am not afraid When I am in the fire I will not feel the flames I'll stand before the giant, declaring victory My God will make a way, so I am not afraid My God will make a way, so I am not afraid No, I am not afraid No, I am not afraid

Seagull, you fly across the horizon Into the misty morning sun Nobody asks you where you are going, Nobody knows where you're from Here is a man asking the question Is this really the end of the world? Seagull, you must have known for a long time The shape of things to come Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why, And you fly all around till somebody shoots you down Da da da da da da da down. Mm mm mm mm, mm mm. Seagull, you fly, across the horizon, Into the misty morning sun. Nobody asks you where you are going, Nobody knows where you are from, Now you fly through the sky, never asking why, And you fly all around till somebody, yeah, Shoots you down. Mm mm, yeah. Seagull you fly, seagull you fly away. And you fly away today And you fly away tomorrow And you fly away, leave me to My sorrow. Mm, mm, mm. Seagull go and fly, mm, mm, mm, Fly to your tomorrow, leave me to my sorrow, fly.

Many, many years ago on a distant shore Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door They travelled long and travelled far Dark into the night Yes, this is the place they've chosen To build the Metal site. Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way Why they worship metal gods each and every day By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are No use in speaking out against anything we do While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue Now the story starts again, all the time is lost Metal Church begins anew Saving souls that are lost. Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are The metal church
