Upstairs & Upstate

V1:

Sat down on the tailgate under the sun

Pulled out that little box and flipped the lid

Bowed my head and started to pray

Lord help me be the best man

The one she needs, that You made me to be

To love her the best that I can

All I'm asking is Lord help me

Chorus:

Got this box with a ring

But before I hit my knee

I gotta talk to the man upstairs and the man upstate

Thank one for the blessings he gave

Ask the other for his blessing to take her hand

One will take faith and the other one strength

Good I got both so here I stand

Talking to the men upstairs and upstate

V2:

Sat down on the couch at her daddy's house

Pulled out that little box and flipped the lid

Looked in his eyes and started to say

Sir I'd like to take her hand

To love her and hold her the rest of my life

Spend every day lost in her eyes

All I'm asking is for you to say yes

Chorus:

Got this box with a ring

But before I hit my knee

I gotta talk to the man upstairs and the man upstate

Thank one for the blessings he gave

Ask the other for his blessing to take her hand

One will take faith and the other one strength

Good I got both so here I stand

Talking to the men upstairs and upstate

Bridge:

She sat down on a bench seat

Pulled out that little box and flipped the lid

Hit my knee and asked her to marry me

Chorus:

Had this box with a ring

But before I hit my knee

Had to talk to the man upstairs and the man upstate

Thank one for the blessings he gave

Ask the other for his blessing to take her hand

One took faith and the other one strength

Good I got both so here I stand

Talking to the men upstairs and upstate
