Eric Church

[Verse 1]
I like to think that I
Have strong enough conviction
To give my life for something that
I believe
But the truth is that I've
Never been put in that position
Where I'd have to die
To keep someone else free

[Chorus]
But there are those, that do it every day
And there are those, that will tomorrow
So tonight I pray, as I lay my worries down
Lord watch over those, still standing their ground

[Verse 2]
I like to think that I
Have had the kind of courage
To speak the name of God
Where it was banned
Or be the kind of guy
Who stayed by her side
When a lot of other guys
Would of ran

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I make my living with this old guitar
I stand on a stage and I pour out my heart
It might not seem like much in the sceme of things
Yeah I doubt I'll ever save a life with one of these songs I sing

[Chorus]

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
