[Verse 1: John Paul White]
Daddy was a Baptist
And your momma loved to dance
You were born in Memphis
But you lived Paris, France
[Chorus]
You may lose your faith in everything
Or you may take a solemn vow
But from this day on, my friends and folk
We're all in this together now
[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash]
You may love the carousel
Or the silence of the trees
You may be the last one standing
Or the queen of all you see
[Refrain: Rosanne Cash & John Paul White]
And some rest easy on the mountain
And some sweat behind the plow
But make no mistake for heaven's sake
We're all in this together now
[Bridge: John Paul White]
Night will fall, the wind will howl
All those things we love so well
Empires crumble while we sleep
Oh, but you must have a story to tell
Daddy was a Baptist
And your momma loved to dance
You were born in Memphis
But you lived Paris, France
[Chorus]
You may lose your faith in everything
Or you may take a solemn vow
But from this day on, my friends and folk
We're all in this together now
[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash]
You may love the carousel
Or the silence of the trees
You may be the last one standing
Or the queen of all you see
[Refrain: Rosanne Cash & John Paul White]
And some rest easy on the mountain
And some sweat behind the plow
But make no mistake for heaven's sake
We're all in this together now
[Bridge: John Paul White]
Night will fall, the wind will howl
All those things we love so well
Empires crumble while we sleep
Oh, but you must have a story to tell
