I was traveling in the state of New Mexico about three or four [F#] years ago.
Along Interstate 40, I stopped to get some fuel, saw an old church building that was just about ready to fall.
One side of it had already hit the ground, and I thought, what a picture that is for the world as they look at that church abandoned there.
And I couldn't get that picture out of my mind.
I came home, and I wrote this little song.
I'd like to share it with you right now.
The [A] church moved away.
