The Closer You Get to God

I was raised on flags and rifles Sunday talk and Saturday fights Granddad swore this land was holy Never said a word about my life We pledged our hearts to the high school banner Hand on chest, like some old rite Then cussed out kids and cursed our neighbors On the porch that very night [Chorus] But the closer you get to God The smaller the rest of it seems All of that drumbeat glory Fades out like a half-worn dream You can love this dirt, this hometown You can stand when the anthem rolls But the closer you get to God You realize there is nothing that comes close [Verse 2] We kept a leather book on the coffee table Thin gold pages never turned Quoted lines to win elections Never let those verses burn I used to bow to every symbol Thought that was the narrow road Now I’m older, lay my burdens On one cross, not a painted pole [Chorus] 'Cause the closer you get to God The smaller the rest of it seems All of that drumbeat glory Fades out like a half-worn dream You can love this dirt, this hometown You can stand when the anthem rolls But the closer you get to God You realize there is nothing that comes close [Bridge] I still tear up when the names get read I still thank heaven for this place But I won’t trade my soul for colors Or wrap the kingdom in that grace (no) If I’ve got to choose what I kneel to When my last day turns to dust I’ll be reaching past that banner For the only One I trust [Chorus] Yeah, the closer you get to God The smaller the rest of it seems All of that drumbeat glory Fades out like a half-worn dream You can love this dirt, this hometown You can stand when the anthem rolls But the closer you get to God You realize there is nothing that comes close Yeah, the closer you get to God You realize there is nothing that comes close
