Back Story
I had a writing appointment with Joie Scott one afternoon, and this idea had been buzzing around my brain for awhile. I love to see how people always seem to pull together when tragedy strikes, how we help each other out, and sometimes that little miracle gets lost in the all the bad news we're bombarded with every day. Ron Wallace really nailed the vocal for us!

Listen To Song: Hi-Fi

PULL TOGETHER 
(Joie Scott / Kent Forward) 

VERSE: 
PREACHER STOOD IN THE SMOLDERING ASH 
WHEN THE VALLEY CHURCH BURNED DOWN 
ALL HIS DREAMS WENT UP IN SMOKE 
HE’S GONNA NEED A MIRACLE NOW 
STRANGERS CAME FROM MILES AROUND 
FROM FARMS AND LITTLE ONE STOP LIGHT TOWNS 
WHEN NEXT SUNDAY ROLLED AROUND 
THERE WAS A BRAND NEW CHURCH IN TOWN 

CHORUS: 
COUNTRY FOLKS CAN SURE PULL TOGETHER 
WEATHER ANY STORM 
WHEN WORKING HANDS REACH OUT FOR EACH OTHER 
WE MAKE A MIGHTY FORCE 
SMALL TOWNS, BIG HEARTED, BOUND AS TOUGH AS LEATHER 
WHEN COUNTRY FOLKS PULL TOGETHER 

VERSE: 
DEEP PURPLE SKIES AND LOW BLACK CLOUDS 
OVER JACKSON TENNESSEE 
TWISTER TORE THROUGH THE HEART OF TOWN 
HOMES LOST IN MUD AND WEEDS 
BUT NO ONE SPENT A HOMELESS NIGHT 
NO KIDS WENT HUNGRY EVERY HEAD STAYED DRY 
‘CAUSE HELP POURED FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE 
AND PRAYERS FILLED THE NIGHT 

CHORUS (Repeat) 

BRIDGE: 
THE CALL WENT OUT FROM A FRIEND OF MINE 
SEVENTY PINTS TO SAVE HIS SISTERS LIFE 
THE LINE ON MAIN WAS FIVE BLOCKS LONG 
AND LIFE GOES ON … 

CHORUS (Repeat)
