Back on the job think I'm workin' too hard Need a little break 'cause I'm feeling kinda tired Rather be sittin' home sleepin' in the yard This day's getting' awful long Then I remember what the Lord told me Gotta be a servant with humility Need to keep in mind what I'm called to be When I'm weak He is strong Chorus: I'm livin' this day by day Don't think I'd make it any other way But if the good Lord's a willin' and the creek don't rise I'm gonna make it to the other side (Whistling) Used to go to church, preacher went too long Stand up, sit down, sing another song I was sittin' there but my mind was gone When was this gonna end (yawn) Now I'm a-sittin' on the very front row Singing 'bout the Savior I've come to know Guess I just need a little time to grow Finally came 'round the bend (Now I'm livin' this life) Repeat Chorus Back in the holler where the honeysuckle grows Lives a little lady I've come to know Know that she loves me 'cause she told me so And that means a lot to me (marry that girl) We got married on a moonlit night She promised she'd follow if I hold on tight Lord's gonna lead us to a brand new height Only his eyes can see Don't you know... Repeat Chorus Well if the good Lord's a willin' and the creek don't rise (We're livin' this day by day) We're gonna make it to the other side
