[Intro] Pastor in the booth like “Turn me up” Deacons in the back with the solo cups AC hums like a lazy drone Somebody dropped a hymnal Hit a high-tone (boing!) Pastor in the booth like “Turn me up” Deacons in the back with the solo cups AC hums like a lazy drone Somebody dropped a hymnal Hit a high-tone (boing!) Pulled up late to the Sunday set Smelled that skunk in the parking deck Choir robes swayin’ Eyes too red “Who brought incense?” the usher said mm-hmm mm-hmm Bible in the air like a VIP pass Grandma in the pew yelling “Turn down that brass!” But her toes keep tappin’ on the old wood floor ’Til she’s two-steppin’ hard Beggin’ Jesus for more hey! hey! hey! Front porch swingin’ with mama’s smile gleamin’ F-150 rusted, river runnin’ streamin’ Daddy’s Red Wings stompin’ dirt farm ground Hard work calluses, country music sound Memories floodin’ like Cumberland waves crashin’ Boots kickin’ dust, friends laughin’ and clashin’ Growin’ up chores before dawn light breakin’ Family supper, plates clinkin’ and shakin’ Dancin’ in the barn to Alan Jackson twang Truck bed loaded, hay bales slang Mama’s eyes waterin’, proud now I’m stackin’ Twenty-five K in the Vanguard wrappin’ Chorus hittin’ like Chevy tailgate slammin’ Grateful for roots, wild nights no dammin’ Peace in the porch light, bittersweet hummin’ Mama proud seein’ her boy overcomin’ Record scratches, fake rewind Truck horn honks after honks Freeze frame every boot Every truck Every farmhand down Joy hits the memory lane Whole crew jumpin’ up joyful and proud We country We gritty We thankful Testify Mama loves her hard-work hustler in Carhartt oh yeah Pastor in the booth spinnin’ those tales now Droppin’ grace notes on family anthems wow Got the deacons noddin’ “preach that rural flow” Crowd like “yeehaw” Turn the pride up loud Let the good times overflow Pastor in the booth spinnin’ those tales now Laughin’ while the memories come and lift us lift us lift us From the front porch steps to the back farm row If you feel that joy Let the whole barn know let it grow! [Verse 3] Pulled up late to the Sunday set Smelled that skunk in the parking deck Choir robes swayin’ Eyes too red “Who brought incense?” the usher said (mm-hmm) Bible in the air like a VIP pass Grandma in the pew yelling “Turn down that brass!” But her toes keep tappin’ on the old wood floor ’Til she’s two-steppin’ hard Beggin’ Jesus for more (hey!) [Chorus] I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Spin a little grace when you need it (you need it) Got the choir goin’ “ahh ” got the crowd like “whoa” Turn the faith up high Let the blessings blow I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Laughin’ while the Spirit comes and frees us (frees us) From the front pew seats to the last church row If you feel that love Let the whole room know (let it go!) [Verse 4] Youth group huddled in the last dark row Passin’ that “prayer request” real slow Pastor says “I smell something strong today” Kid goes “That’s my new ‘Burnin’ Bush’ spray” (okay!) One dude giggles through the altar call Sees the stained glass saints do a disco crawl But he’s cryin’ while he laughs Heart gettin’ wrecked Says “Lord If you’re real Come correct my deck” [Chorus] I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Spin a little grace when you need it (you need it) Got the choir goin’ “ahh ” got the crowd like “whoa” Turn the faith up high Let the blessings blow I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Laughin’ while the Spirit comes and frees us (frees us) From the front pew seats to the last church row If you feel that love Let the whole room know [Bridge] [record scratch Fake rewind Cartoon “boing!” hits] Freeze frame—every saint Every clown Joy hit the room Whole place fallin’ down (on the floor) We weird We wild We blessed Confess God loves a hot mess in a Sunday vest (oh yeah) [Chorus] I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Spin a little grace when you need it (you need it) Got the choir goin’ “ahh ” got the crowd like “whoa” Turn the faith up high Let the blessings blow I’m a holy rollin’ DJ for Jesus (for Jesus) Laughin’ while the Spirit comes and frees us (frees us) If you came in low Leave the house on high With a laugh With a hug With your hands to the sky (hands up!)
