I grew up impressed by the people I knew 
in the buckle of the bible belt 
hopped in the van with the band 
now I've been just about everywhere else 
Met a soldier from Seattle and a lawyer from the East 
a texas oil baron and a Roman Catholic priest 

Every day I choose 
to walk in their shoes 
'cause pretty are the feet of those 
who bring the good news 

Good people 
good, good people 
everywhere, everywhere it's God's people 

Been on the road been far from home 
but I found me a friend or two 
time has taught me well and I can tell you 
the good things people do 
they really care and I've been there 
seen it with my eyes 
you can tell that they're God's people 
by the goodness in their lives
