[Verse 1] Four mile road, red clay line Shoes wore thin, but we kept time Irvington sun on a porch rail cross Hard days came, but we never got lost Mama said, "Hold that flame" Daddy bowed his head in rain We learned faith with a weary hand Kept on walking, taking our stand [Pre-Chorus] When the wind got mean And the fields ran dry We leaned on a name That would not lie [Chorus] Still standing, still standing Still standing on Four mile road Still standing, still standing The Lord kept our souls afloat (Still standing) Still standing, still standing In Irvington, Alabama glow [Verse 2] Church door creaked like an old confession Sister sang through a hard conviction Coal smoke clung to her Sunday dress She sang grace like a promise kept We had tears in a tin cup bowl We had hope and a hand to hold When the night got deep and the bills came due That old small church saw us through [Pre-Chorus] When the wheat bowed low And the creek ran black We found a light That brought us back [Chorus] Still standing, still standing Still standing on Four mile road Still standing, still standing The Lord kept our souls afloat (Still standing) Still standing, still standing In Irvington, Alabama glow [Bridge] Let the trouble roll Let the thunder call We were made to bend But not to fall Hand in hand Dust to dust We got more than bones We got holy trust [Final Chorus] Still standing, still standing Still standing on Four mile road Still standing, still standing The Lord kept our souls afloat (Still standing) Still standing, still standing In Irvington, Alabama glow Still standing, still standing Till the river takes us home
