Standing in the yard
Trying not to drink
Looking at my neighbour eat a peach over the sink

If I had the hand of God
Would the God whose hand I have
Know not to leave you alone
When you say you're feeling sad?

Leaning on the bar
Spinning my ring
Mary sings, and I feel everything

If I had the hand of God
Would the God whose hand I have
Know how to pick up the phone
Take a breath and call my dad?

Country hall of fame
Old boots in a pile
Will the circle stay unbroken if I walked away for a while?

What kind of life is that?
After the show
Become an outline to everyone you know

If I had the hand of God
Would the God whose hand I have
Be the kind to know when to let go
Before it gets this bad?

Standing in the yard
Trying not to drink
Mary sings, and I feel nothing
