The World Needs Country Songs Too

A fireman came

Rescued a girl

From out of the flames

Into a new world

The town folk thank him

For the the good that he did

Praise the lord

For blessings like this

The world needs heroes

The world needs Saints

The ones that will stand up

When some of us can’t

Tales to make better

Three chords and the truth

The world needs country songs too

The doctor delivered

A new baby boy

He handed the mama

Her bundle of joy

The town folk thank him

For the good that he did

Praise the lord

For blessings like this

The world needs heroes

The world needs Saints

The ones that will stand up

When some of us can’t

Tales to make better

Three chords and the truth

The world needs country songs too

She looked at the infant

She held in her arms

She lulled him to sleep

Then she wrote down this song

It said

I’d like to thank you

For the life that I live

Praise the lord

For blessings like this

The world needs heroes

The world needs Saints

The ones that will stand up

When some of us can’t

Tales to make better

Three chords and the truth

The world needs country songs too
