[Verse 1]
On a journey through the mountains of Virginia
I stopped a while to visit with a friend
She ran the country store like her daddy had before
Nothing much had changed since way back then
[Verse 2]
I stood looking at a wall of faded pictures
Some of them beginning to turn brown
John and uncle Jim up there with Loretta Lynn
And everybody who had been through town
[Chorus]
Pictures on the wall famous people one and all
Their pictures were hanging on the wall
[Verse 3]
Among them all I saw the face of Jesus
With the big celеbrities we know so well
Whеn I asked her why she gave me this reply
She said that's a story that I love to tell
[Verse 4]
She said it was a year ago come Sunday
An old man with a bible came to call
He said do you love Jesus she said yes sir
But he just looked up sadly at the wall
On a journey through the mountains of Virginia
I stopped a while to visit with a friend
She ran the country store like her daddy had before
Nothing much had changed since way back then
[Verse 2]
I stood looking at a wall of faded pictures
Some of them beginning to turn brown
John and uncle Jim up there with Loretta Lynn
And everybody who had been through town
[Chorus]
Pictures on the wall famous people one and all
Their pictures were hanging on the wall
[Verse 3]
Among them all I saw the face of Jesus
With the big celеbrities we know so well
Whеn I asked her why she gave me this reply
She said that's a story that I love to tell
[Verse 4]
She said it was a year ago come Sunday
An old man with a bible came to call
He said do you love Jesus she said yes sir
But he just looked up sadly at the wall
