That's Where I Find God - Larry Fleet Cover - HIVE Open Mic 37 - Divine Alignment

in GEMS5 years ago

Hi all

Happy Solstice

This is my entry this week...A song I heard last week on Theo Von's Podcast ....Its called "That's Where I Find God" by a guy called Larry Fleet.

I thought it would be fitting for this Divine alignment week.

"That's Where I find God"
Larry Fleet

The night I hit rock bottom, sittin' on an old bar stool
He paid my tab and put me in a cab, tho he didn't have to
But he could see I was hurtin', oh I wish I'd got his name
'Cause I didn't feel worth savin', but he saved me just the same

That day out on the water when the fish just wouldn't bite
I put my pole down, floated around, it was just so quiet
And I could hear my old man sayin', "Son, just be still"
'Cause you can't find peace like this in a bottle or a pill

From a bar stool to that Evinrude
Sunday mornin' in a church pew
In a deer stand or a hay field
An interstate back to Nashville
In a Chevrolet with the windows down
Me and Him just ridin' around
Sometimes, whether I'm lookin' for Him or not
That's where I find God

Yeah the night I hit rock bottom, sittin' on an old bar stool
He paid my tab and put me in a cab, tho he didn't have to
But he could see I was hurtin', oh I wish I'd got his name
'Cause I didn't feel worth savin', but he saved me just the same

You have a special way of finding cover songs with potent lyrics. They are contemplative songs, stretching the mind and heart, and they always relate nicely with the weekly theme. Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words cabe.Encouragement like this means alot to me :).

Hi @cabelindsay I got to wondering how come we only get tipped 1 hive for participating in these events? Your currently tipping us 11 cents each week.....It used to be 1 HBD.

The weekly posts you compile with the highlights,that is all of our content and honestly I think we should get more of a share of the reward pool for being featured in those each week.Correct me if Im wrong but as it stands I dont think any of the artist's featured get anything from those highlight posts.
