Growing up in the south my momma taught me about
The things that matter most
She taught me to read my bible and pray at night
To value family even if we fight
And never turn your back on true friends in life
And after many years of living wrong
Well these simple things have helped to keep me strong
My faith in God above My family that I love
My Friends with whom I've shed tears and blood
And I know who to call when I just wanna fall
The things I need most last right till the end
My faith, my family, my friends
I don't see them all as much as I'd like
And I hide from them when I'm not living right
Aw, but they love me just the same
And I got friends that are serving time
And some that never made it back from the front lines
I've been so blessed with who I've known
I've got all I need to not face the world alone
My faith in God above My family that I love
My Friends with whom I've shed tears and blood
And I know who to call when I just wanna fall
The things I need most last right till the end
My faith, my family, my friends
Are there for me and God knows where I'd be
No one to share good and bad times with me
My faith in God above My family that I love
My Friends with whom I've shed tears and blood
And I know who to call when I just wanna fall
The things I need most last right til the end
My faith, my family, my friends
My faith, my family, my friends
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
