EARLY CHURCH focuses on the 'early years' of Eric Church's career, the 2006 ‘Sinners Like Me’ album, and the 2009 ‘Carolina’ Capital-Nashville effort.

Chocked-full of tasty song writing nuggets that may not have garnered radio hits like his most recent singles, but would certainly define his climb from obscurity from small clubs & venues to a major touring powerhouse delivering record-breaking attendance records, not to mention attracting a very loyal fan base who he himself is very loyal to as well.

Let me be your weekly guide to NEW MUSIC that really isn’t new, but just plain & simply, kicks ass! -Steve Richards ( @trainwreckradio ) #theChurchChoir #EarlyChurch

This week, it's TRACK #4 from the 'Carolina' album, “Where She Told Me to Go”. By the way, that is co-writer Casey Beathard jammin w/ Eric in the [THROWBACK VIDEO] below, NOT Brett Favre!

ERIC CHURCH LYRICS
"Where She Told Me To Go"

Muddy water coming out of the sink in there
Dirty sheets up on the bed
I can't get no picture on the TV screen
I can't stand the ones up in my head
I got the air turned down to very cold
But it ain't doing a bit of good
It ain't like there was a first resort
In this last chance for gas neighborhood

I was looking for freedom
I was looking for a good time
I was looking for a little space
A little place that was mine all mine
I was going with my change of heart
And wanted no part of forever
I was looking for a blessing
When I said baby, it's all for the better
Yeah what do you know, I think I wound up
Where she told me to go

Of all the places man, I broke down here
Shade tree mechanic told me, son
I can't get no parts for this here make in here
But don't worry boy, I'll get it done
Meanwhile I need to be back with her yesterday
Clock in this town don't seem to care
I'm finding fast this God forsaken place
Is at least two weeks from everywhere

I was looking for a good time
I was looking for a little space
A little place, some peace of mind
I was going with my change of heart
Wanted no part of forever
I was looking for a blessing
When I said baby, it's all for the better
Yeah what do you know, I think I wound up
Where she told me to go

This place ain't on no map
But how was I to know
It's everywhere that she ain't at
How did she know that I'd wind up
Where she told me to go
