    Way out west where I’ll do my best to limit them ole tattoos and where is seldom heard that old f-word. And the skies are not cloudy all day.

    Where everything is western, they call it the WESTERN Way.

    Where men wear hats and sit the saddle, walk around in manly footwear, the western style boot, while the teenagers sing, “Back in the saddle again.”

    Yes, SIR, We’re looking for a home, somewhere out west. If you know of such a place, give us a hollar.

    Maybe we all are looking for something, a home, better heath, healing for a loved one, wanting, needing something. I was blowing on my harmonica, my lips barely touching the harp, breathing softly, when I noticed a harmony beginning to emerge.
    It went something like this,
    Oh, I'd like to go back to that old country church to hear the songs of praise (songs of praise)
    How the people would sing, it would make the rafters ring at that old, at that old country church

    Shall we gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river
    Gather with the saints at the river that flows from the throne of God
    Oh, I'll never forget at that old country church
    How the glory of the Lord came down
    And the children would smile as they shouted down the aisle
    Of that old, of that old country church

    In the sweet bye and bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore
    In the sweet bye and bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore
    Then on Sunday I'd see all my friends dear to me
    At that old (at that old) country church (country church)
    When we'd kneel down to pray'r
    Everybody would be there at that old (at that old) country church

    Leaning (leaning) leaning (I'm leaning)
    Safe and secure from all alarm
    Leaning (leaning, leaning) leaning (I'm leaning)
    Leaning on the everlasting arm

    Now the years have gone by and so many have died
    At that old country church (country church)
    But they're on the other shore where they'll sing forever more
    As they did at that old country church.
    ******. ******. ******
    Lyrics and not melody. But the brain recognizes melody first.

    Nothing personal or meaningful about this post. Just something that happens sometime when I’m reflective
    and have a harmonica in my hands. A melody will present itself, then some words, and I’ll blow it over and over until I know for sure what it is. Guess it’s called practice. Be happy to remove it if
    offensive or not suitable here.

    My favorite old church song. It will certainly lift my spirit.
