Larry Fleet - Where I Find God Lyrics
Lyrics
That night I hit rock bottom sittin’ on an old barstool
He paid my tab and put me in a cab – he didn’t have to
But he could see I was hurtin’, oh I wish I’d got his name
I didn’t feel worth savin’ but he saved me just the same
And that day out on the water when the fish just wouldn’t bite
I put my pole down, floated around – it was just so quiet
I could hear my old man... sayin’ son just be still
You can’t find peace like this in a bottle or a pill
From a bar stool, to that Evinrude
sunday mornin’ in a church pew
In a deer stand or a hay field
an interstate back to nashville
In a Chevrolet with the windows down
me and him just ridin’ around
yeah sometimes...whether i’m lookin’ for him or not
That’s where I find God
Sometimes late at night, I lie there and listen
To the sound of her heart beatin’ and that song the crickets are singin’
And I don’t know what they’re sayin’
But it sounds like a hymn to me
Naw I ain’t too good at prayin’
But thanks for everything
From a bar stool, to that Evinrude
sunday mornin’ in a church pew
In a deer stand or a hay field
an interstate back to nashville
In a Chevrolet with the windows down
me and him just ridin’ around
yeah sometimes...whether i’m lookin’ for him or not
That’s where I find God
From a bar stool, to that Evinrude
sunday mornin’ in a church pew
In a deer stand or a hay field
an interstate back to nashville
In a Chevrolet with the windows down
me and him just ridin’ around talkin’... well i do that a lot, well i do that a lot
Cause that’s where I find God

Meaning & Inspiration
Larry Fleet's "Where I Find God," released in 2022, offers a profound meditation on the divine presence woven into the fabric of everyday life, a sentiment that resonates deeply with scriptural truths about God’s immanence. This track doesn't just speak of finding God in grand cathedrals or during moments of intense prayer, but rather in the often-overlooked, the simple, and the natural. The song's core message is one of recognizing God’s handiwork and presence in the creation around us and in the quiet moments of our existence, echoing the Psalmist's declaration, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalm 19:1). Fleet’s exploration of finding God in the rustling of leaves, the stillness of dawn, or the comforting presence of a loved one directly aligns with the biblical understanding that God is not distant but actively involved and accessible in the world. Consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them," which speaks to God’s presence in community, a sentiment mirrored in the human connection Fleet highlights. The song’s invitation to slow down and observe the world with spiritual eyes encourages a posture of gratitude and attentiveness, aligning with the biblical injunction to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It suggests that our encounters with the Creator are not confined to specific sacred times or places, but are continuous opportunities for spiritual discovery. Fleet’s portrayal of finding solace and peace in these moments further emphasizes how God’s presence offers restoration and grounding, as the prophet Isaiah promised, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you" (Isaiah 26:3). The inclusion of Morgan Wallen on this live version adds a layer of shared experience and emphasizes the communal aspect of faith, illustrating how shared moments can amplify our awareness of God's presence. Ultimately, "Where I Find God" serves as a gentle reminder that the divine is not an abstract concept, but a tangible reality accessible to anyone willing to look, listen, and feel, confirming the truth that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1).
