Sunday night revival

Mm-hmm…

Yeah…

Heart broke, but my feet still movin’.

Mississippi mud on my soul, church in my chest,

blues in my hands.

Turn that guitar up.

We gon’ hurt and heal at the same time tonight.

She left her earrings on the dresser,

like a ghost that won’t let go.

Took her clothes out my closet,

left her echo in my bones.

I heard that screen door creak one last time,

but I was too proud to call her name.

Now this house got four good walls,

but it don’t feel the same.

I been drivin’ down 49,

windows down, chasin’ the wind,

Tryna outrun that memory

of the night she gave our love its end.

But every streetlight look like Sunday mornin’,

every shadow sound like her goodbye…

and this old guitar keep bendin’ notes

like it’s askin’ me why.

So I plug this pain into the amp,

let these riffs start testifyin’.

If the blues gon’ break me down,

then the beat gon’ keep me standin’.

🎵 Lead:

I got heartbreak in my left hand,

hallelujah in my right,

🎵 Choir:

(Hallelujah, hallelujah)

🎵 Lead:

Juke joint in my backbone,

church pew in my life.

🎵 Choir:

(Keep on, keep on)

🎵 Lead:

Yeah, she left me in the midnight,

but I’m dancin’ in the light…

’Cause in this Sunday night revival,

even broken hearts can feel all right.

🎵 Choir:

(Revival, revival)

Got a preacher on the corner

sayin’, “Son, you gotta let her go.”

But he ain’t heard our song play

on that old radio.

He don’t know how her laughter

used to fill this creaky floor,

how her kiss could turn a shack

into a castle with no door.

So I sing my blues like a prayer,

let the guitar start to shout.

Every lick a hallelujah,

every chord a way out.

Bartender wipin’ glasses

like he hear my soul confess…

and a stranger in the corner

nods his head and says, “I know that mess.”

So I send my pain up through these strings,

let the Spirit ride the sound.

If love knocked me to my knees,

then this groove gon’ lift me off the ground.

🎵 Lead:

I got heartbreak in my left hand,

hallelujah in my right,

🎵 Choir:

(Hallelujah, hallelujah)

🎵 Lead:

Delta dust on my boots,

but my soul dressed in white.

🎵 Choir:

(Keep walkin’, keep walkin’)

🎵 Lead:

Yeah, she left me in the midnight,

but I’m dancin’ in the light…

’Cause in this Sunday night revival,

even broken hearts can feel all right.

🎵 Choir:

(Revival, revival, oh yeah)

Electric guitar tears into a solo — bending high notes like a cry, sliding down like a sigh, then climbing back up like a shout of praise. Drums and organ push underneath, clapping on the 2 and 4, crowd hollering in the background like a juke joint turned church.

Spirit ride the sound.

If love knocked me to my knees,

then this groove gon’ lift me off the ground.

hallelujah in my right,

🎵 Lead:

Say “yeah” if you ever loved someone

who walked away too soon…

🎵 Crowd/Choir:

(Yeah, yeah)

🎵 Lead:

Say “Lord” if you ever begged for peace

in a smoky, empty room…

🎵 Crowd/Choir:

(Lord, Lord)

🎵 Lead:

I took my tears down to the altar,

right here on this wooden stage…

🎵 Choir:

(Laid ’em down, laid ’em down)

🎵 Lead:

Now my blues sound like a sermon,

and my pain turned into praise.

🎵 Choir:

(Praise Him, praise Him)

Now I ain’t sayin’ I’m over her,

but I ain’t under that hurt no more.

I found Jesus in the drumbeat,

found my healing in the roar.

When the bass line starts stompin’,

and the keys begin to flow,

I feel Heaven crack the ceiling

of this little backroad show.

So if you see me smilin’ crooked,

know I been to hell and back.

But I came out with my rhythm,

and my faith still intact.

She might have my yesterday,

but she don’t own tonight—

’cause this soul, this blues, this God in me

gon’ keep my spirit right.

🎵 Lead:

I got heartbreak in my left hand,

hallelujah in my right,

🎵 Choir:

(Hallelujah, hallelujah)

🎵 Lead:

Mississippi in my veins,

and my scars shinin’ bright.

🎵 Choir:

(Shine on, shine on)

🎵 Lead:

Yeah, she left me in the midnight,

but I’m dancin’ in the light…

’Cause in this Sunday night revival,

even broken hearts can feel all right.

🎵 Choir:

(Revival, revival, revival tonight)

🎵 Lead – soft, fading:

Turn that guitar up,

let the blues and the church collide…

If love had to leave me lonely,

God gon’ stay right by my side.
