One Church Town - The Glorious Sons

You met her at the bank when you were paying your bills

She was a nervous little girl with golden curls

You took her on a date somewhere uptown

When you dropped her off she said see you around

Ooh, it took a few years cutting the walls down

Yeah, cause nothing comes easy in a one church town

You settled out of town in a highway house

You used the money that they gave her when they bought her out

She went back to school to get a degree

You got a job welding pot for the army

Then a paper that your father signed years ago

Turned a little man’s dream into a money hole

If you didn’t know then daddy now you know

Some men don’t mind making other men poor

Ooh, run daddy run, you got a kid on the way

Yeah, don’t give up now, cause nothing comes easy in a one church town

Two kids in the yard and another on the way

She’s sitting by her mother’s side begging her to stay

There was talk that you shoulda sued the chemical plant

But there wasn’t no price that could bring her back

And you just keep living through the good and the bad

Well there ain’t no dream that was bigger than that

Ooh, we all learn so hard that life must prevail

Ooh, don’t give up now, cause nothing comes easy in a one church town

Ooh, don’t give up now, cause nothing lives down in a one church town
