[verse 1]
I met a man outside cincinnati
One night 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?"
[pre-chorus]
I've never been the kind to put my faith in somethin' i can't see
Hell, i just laughed and said, "i agree"
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
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, i 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
[chorus]
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
[post-chorus]
Yeah, i ain't got enough faith
[bridge]
It ain't always in a church where i feel him closest to me
Kinda like right now, a couple coors in
Feelin' like he's talkin' through me
[chorus]
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 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
[outro]
Yeah, i ain't got enough faith
