Lyrics

Verse 1 – Narrator]
Well, Mike went down to Lewisburg, he was lookin’ to be polite
Cindy said, “Come hear Natalie speak,” and he said, “Alright.”
He grabbed his coat, parked his truck, and shuffled through the door
But what he got was not quite what he thought he signed up for.

There were twelve folks in the audience, thirteen helpin’ out
And Mike sat back with crossed arms and a skeptical little pout
They kicked things off, she welcomed all, then someone else took stage
And what followed next had Mike flippin’ through the program page…

⸻

[Chorus – Mike (sassy, deadpan)]
🎵 “Now I came here for leadership, not a Sunday altar call
Felt more like a sermon, not much leadin’ there at all
If you weren’t a Christian, friend, you’d be confused for sure
Still, I stayed and smiled, like a gentleman mature.” 🎵

⸻

[Verse 2 – Narrator]
Now Natalie wore a sweater-thing, one of those big ol’ wraps
The kind that says “I teach theology and give cozy naps.”
Penny the cat was home on guard, likely sittin’ in a box
While Natalie sent emails to fake names like Brian and Chris Fox. 📧

Mike whispered to the guy nearby, “Reckon these folks all paid?”
But deep inside, he strongly felt that a few were kindly made
To show up outta pity—or maybe church small group
Three Amish came and sat in back, just watchin’ the whole troupe.

⸻

[Chorus – Mike, grinnin’ now]
🎵 “Now I may not be a coach or saint, but I know a thing or two
When half the crowd’s facilitators, well… that math ain’t new.
Still, Cindy smiled and thanked me sweet—said, ‘Means a lot you came!’
And I nodded like a man who’d just survived a holy game.” 🎵

⸻

[Bridge – Narrator, fiddle solo flair]
Now Natalie dreams big, no shame in that
Reads Willard with tea and a skeptical cat
She’s got fire, she’s got heart, she’s got Kingdom plans
Just needs a few more names… who actually exist and RSVP, man.

⸻

[Verse 3 – Mike, final word]
🎵 “Look, I came for support, and support I gave
I sat through the sermons and managed to behave
It wasn’t quite what I expected to see
But she’s got guts, I’ll give her that—for teachin’ theology with tea.” 🎵

⸻

[Final Chorus – Full Cast]
🎻 “Mike went down to Lewisburg, and though he came unsure
He left with tales of Amish folks and sweaters soft as fur
Natalie’s still dreamin’, and Penny runs the show
It may not be a megachurch… but it’s got that small-church glow.” 🎻
