lyrics

[Chorus]
I am rolling up a highway, to a church on a hill
And I'm looking for a savior, who's not a cheap thrill
Don't live in a bottle, don't look like a pill
I am rolling up a highway to a church on a hill

When I get there I know so loud, on the doors that the sound
Wake the slumbering towns folk, and they all gather round
To see the stranger with a guitar, and an old car run down
Just searching for salvation at the church of the found

Oh the Church of he found, the church of the found
Saint Anthony won't you please come down
I banged so hard and I knocked so loud
That the bells in the tower of the church did sound

Well Saint Anthony, he came to me
Not at those doors, but in a dream
And in my hand placed a silver key
That would undo a lock, to set my soul free

The Key was to a locket, on the neck of a boy
Who was fishing with his father, feeling true joy
In a boat, on a river, their lines employed
My soul was in a locket on the neck of a boy

about

Jeremy Joyce New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans couldn’t offer a more appropriate musical backdrop for Jeremy Joyce, whose genre-defying songs are born out of Jeremy’s macro-level interest in music history and his micro-level interest in what makes songs tick.
