Lyrics

[00:07.44] When pain didn't reign and love was king
[00:14.76] We could wash our hand of most anything
[00:21.61] But i inherited my father's sin
[00:28.37] I was born and raised in the midst of it
[00:35.00] Before a preacher spoke those words in red
[00:42.25] And holy men would bow their heads
[00:48.81] Before I was the man I am
[00:55.37] The oldest son of Abraham
[01:01.05] The day I drowned in fire and stone
[01:09.36] I found out what I'd always known
[01:16.80] I still remember
[01:20.63] I still see
[01:25.61] A heart that trusts
[01:27.76] and a voice that sings
[01:32.44] When pain didn't reign and love was king
[01:39.19] My daddy was a gambler,a drinking man
[01:45.34] He showed his love with the back of his hand
[01:52.34] I never saw him smile, not a flicker of grace
[01:59.09] Think he buried em with mama in the Tennessee clay
[02:05.07] The day I drowned in fire and stone
[02:12.76] I found out what I'd always know
[02:20.91] I still remember
[02:24.44] I still see
[02:28.63] A heart that trusts
[02:31.06] and a voice that sings
[02:34.37] When pain didn't reign and love was king
[03:07.09] The day I drowned in fire and stone
[03:14.53] I found out what I'd always know
[03:22.16] But I still remember
[03:26.07] I still see
[03:30.75] A heart that trusts
[03:32.77] and a voice that sings
[03:35.74] When pain didn't reign and love was king
[03:42.93] A heart that trusts
[03:44.55] and a voice that sings
[03:49.49] Like when pain didn't reign and love was king
