Sweet Soul Provider Lyrics

She’s the one that saved me
Waking every morning to biscuit ‘n gravy
Heaven bless Grand Mamas soul

Sweet soul provider
Sittin on the porch sipping apple cider
She’d say; ‘leave the dishes when you go’
World ain’t changed her at all

Sheriff brought the banker
Out to see Mama about her 40 acres
Said ‘it’s time for you to go’
Staring out the screen door
Watching Mama load up our old ford
She said, ‘honey child, come on lets go’
World ain’t changed her at all

I've still got the bible I stole that night at my
revival
In some hotel on 35
It didn’t have no swimming pool, no TV, nothing to do
And Mamas sleeping with her wine
So I grabbed hold and called it mine
And read every single line

The next Sunday morning The Ford broke down just south of Corbin
Grandpa came and took us home
Sweet soul provider
Used to be a preacher before he retired
He said, 'girl you’ll always have a home'
World ain’t changed him at all

Walkin thru this graveyard
I realize times were never really hard
We live, we love, we let it go
World ain’t changed me at all

I've still got the bible I stole that night at my
revival
In some hotel on 35
It didn’t have no swimming pool, no TV, nothing to do
And Mamas sleeping with her wine
So I grabbed hold and called it mine
And read every single line

She’s the one that saved me
Waking every morning to the memories she gave me
Heaven bless Grand Mamas soul
