Lyrics
I met a man outside Cincinnati
Holdin' out in a neon bar
I sat down and he said, "What you havin'?"
The same way every story starts
Couple Coors in, we were just-met old friends
Talkin' 'bout cars, how we make ends meet
He saw the cross around my neck and said
"Is that somethin' you really believe?"
I've never been the kind to put my faith in somethin' I can't see
Well, I just laughed and said, "I agree"
When I see a sunset fallin' down
Or the smoky mountains touch the sky
When I see a cornrow crop comin' out the ground or a newborn baby cry
Go and count my blessin's every night
Every time, I just can't count that high
When it comes to thinkin' someone's up there lookin' down
Well, buddy, I've got to
Yeah, 'cause I ain't got enough faith not to
I told him how I never would've met my wife
If I hadn't slept in and missed that flight
Last time I saw granddad, got a little more time 'cause the tire went flat
Hell, any man gets lucky once or twice
But when it comes to that hundredth time
That's when I couldn't be convinced
Yeah, that it's all a coincidence, yeah
Comin' home to an angel every night
With a kiss sayin', "Missed you when you were gone"
Or the sound of a little bare feet in a princess dress
Dancin' 'cause daddy's home
Go and count my blessin's every night
Every time, I just can't count that high
When it comes to thinkin' someone's up there lookin' down
Well, buddy, I've got to
Yeah, 'cause I ain't got enough faith not to
Yeah, I ain't got enough faith
It ain't always in a church where I feel Him closest to me
Kinda like right now, a couple chords in
Feelin' like He's talkin' through me
Right here outside Cincinatti
The three of us in a neon bar
It started out with a "Hey, what ya havin'?
Guess we're s'pposed to be right where we are
Addin' this to my list of blessin's
A little more proof that there's gotta be a Heaven
Yeah, when it comes to thinkin' someone's up there lookin' down
Well, buddy, I've got to
Yeah, 'cause I ain't got enough faith not to
Yeah, I ain't got enough faith
Holdin' out in a neon bar
I sat down and he said, "What you havin'?"
The same way every story starts
Couple Coors in, we were just-met old friends
Talkin' 'bout cars, how we make ends meet

When I see a cornrow crop comin' out the ground or a newborn baby cry
Go and count my blessin's every night
Every time, I just can't count that high
When it comes to thinkin' someone's up there lookin' down
