A feel good, soulful kick off to the album which talks about the struggles of life and deep need to belong to a family unit.

lyrics

[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break

[VS 1]
The fall will always come
right after the pride
and so you sink to the bottom
wait for the tears to subside
the draw down the blinds when you hide
sleep with your guns by your side
but don't you forget you're a royal flush
held closely on the sly

[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break

[VS 2]
Stiff drink first thing in the morning
the sunlight has lost all appeal
I find my comfort in darkness
and I run from talk that gets real
spend all my dollars for nothing
forced to beg borrow and steal
but you lay your cards on the table and
I'll shuffle cut and deal

[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break

[VS 3]

I thought by now I'd be happy
pretending everything is great
white picket fences and dinner parties
a white collar job that you hate
red in the face with frustration
keeps getting worse every day
but when you feel like all hope is lost
live to fight another day

So give me that old time religion
give me that old time religion
give me that old time religion
