Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another worn out Friday night A drink, a stage, an open She goes to take her turn but nobody hears a word Yeah, I wonder why she tries so hard In a nowhere town in a little dive bar But I can't give her the blame 'Cause I know I'd do the same [Chorus] 'Cause I'd play every ten to two For fifty bucks and a hotel room To hear my voice on WSM 'Cause it's a thrill you just can't buy To see those pews from the other side And lead a soul revival like the best of them Wеll the sanctuary's callin' me to sing And it's all I want, so I'd do anything To stand in the circlе [Verse 2] Yeah, I dream about the day When there'd be a mailbox with my name And I'd join the family And they'd welcome me on home [Chorus] 'Cause I'd play every ten to two For fifty bucks and a hotel room To hear my voice on WSM 'Cause it's a thrill you just can't buy To see those pews from the other side And lead a soul revival like the best of them Well the sanctuary's callin' me to sing And it's all I want, so I'd do anything To stand in the circle [Bridge] Well the singer's up there preachin' With three chords and the truth And I can feel the spirit movin' In that dusty dressin' room And when the curtain finally opens And I step out in the light Well I'm sending up a prayer And I'm thankin' God tonight [Chorus] That I played every ten to two For fifty bucks and a hotel room To hear my voice on WSM 'Cause it's a thrill you just can't buy To see those pews from the other side And lead a soul revival like the best of them Well the sanctuary's callin' me to sing So I'll raise my voice in praise and offering And stand in the circle Stand in the circle
