LYRICS
If you’re gonna rise, you might as well shine
If you’ve got wings, you might as well fly
If you’ve got a voice, you might as well sing
Never met a bell that I didn’t wanna ring.

Chorus:
It can be so easy
When you’re on your path 
and you know where you’re going
If the rain falls
That great big river of life keeps flowing
So Jump on in, the water’s fine
One more time, One more time.

Never met a hand that I didn’t wanna shake
Never took a chance that I didn’t wanna take
Never met a wheel that I didn’t wanna roll
I Never said a prayer that didn’t bless my soul
Bless my soul, Bless my soul

(Chorus:)

Bridge:
We’re gonna fais do –do when the music’s right
I’ll see you at the dance this Saturday night
Got my new white dress and my pink boots on
We’re gonna dance all night to our favorite song,
Favorite song, favorite song, favorite song

(chorus)

(Ooo! This water’s kinda cold!)

The story behind the new Jesus & Hank song:

A few years back during a rehearsal break, my lead guitarist at the time mentioned he had an idea for a song.  He said "In the house where I grew up, over the couch in the living room there was a velvet picture of Jesus on one side and a velvet picture of Hank Williams on the other. In between was a deer head and a couple of fish. I always felt that I grew up somewhere between Jesus and Hank. I always thought that would be a good song title, but I'm not a songwriter so why don't y'all write it".

The next weekend, before I could write a word, Mike Robertson, who wrote "Merle Haggard, Jack Daniels and Me" on my previous album....and his daughter Tia had completed the song. A couple of weeks later in the studio, Mike R. played it on an acoustic guitar for my producer David Leonard. Keep in mind that David has a keen ear and is not easy to impress. He sat there with his back to us at the console while Mike played the song. David turned around and had a tear in his eye. He looked at me and said "You've GOT to record this song"

During the recording sessions, we brought in the incredible talents of Tommy Dodd on pedal steel, Marla Feeney on fiddle and Oak Ridge Boys drummer David Northrup. David Leonard layed down bass and piano tracks with a special emphasis on Floyd Cramer-type piano licks in certain parts of the song.

......so, that's how it came to be
