LYRICS:
Somewhere inside them back Florida pines
There's a town with a Choctaw name
There's a little white church and a real tight curve
On the edge of a field full of grain
Yeah the preacher was a stand-up man
Shakin' hands every Sunday morning at the door
He loved his congregation but he ran an operation
Selling more than the word of the Lord
And he called it holy water
He called it holy water
He bought a brand new Lincoln
Had a couple deacons thinkin' it was more than he could afford
They knew something was up when he was shuttin' his trunk
At the church around 1 in the morning
When he was outta sight, they snuck around inside
And found a door leadin' under the ground
They popped the lock on the latch
Walked down and flashed their lights
And guess what they found
A cellar full of holy water
No one knows where it comes from buddy
But you can find it anywhere from Bama to Kentucky
Got the whole damn southeast side of the country
Lining up to pay top dollar
The jar tops twist when the sun starts settin'
Burns like hell, gets ya high like heaven
Lord have mercy if they knew where they was getting that holy water
Well the deacons pulled up to his house in a truck
With the proof all crystal clear
He tried to play it off but he knew he was caught
So he said brothers, listen here
You can call the law or you can keep the secret
I'll cut you in and we can call it even
Next Sunday mornin' 'round 10 o'clock
There was two more Lincolns in the parking lot
No one knows where it comes from buddy
But you can find it anywhere from Bama to Kentucky
Got the whole damn southeast side of the country
Lining up to pay top dollar
The jar tops twist when the sun starts settin'
Burns like hell, gets ya high like heaven
Lord have mercy if they knew where they was getting that holy water
Now there's new stained glass, new pews front to back
Nobody even asked no questions
And a sign out front with some letters readin'
"John, Chapter 2, Verse 1 through 11"
For Michael Ray, music is his grandfather singing and sweating on a rural Florida stage. It’s the childhood refuge he found during the pain of his parents’ divorce. It’s family and stories, history and hope. Ray says music saved him, but it did even more: Music made him. In four short years, Ray has built an impressive foundation. Three No. 1 songs “Kiss You in the Morning,” “Think a Little Less,” and “One That Got Away,” plus “Get to You” and “Her World or Mine,” brings his tally to five Gold-certified singles. The poignant “Her World or Mine”--the third song off of his sophomore album Amos--also produced a video that has captured more than 19 million UA-cam views since its debut less than a year ago. Now, two hit albums into that all-too-rare blend of critically acclaimed and commercially successful career, Ray has released “Whiskey And Rain,” the first single off of his upcoming project produced by GRAMMY-nominated song whisperer Ross Copperman. Proof that heartbroken wallowing can feel good if it swings, “Whiskey and Rain” also cements Ray as the ideal bridge between vintage country cool and modern country’s best sounds. See Ray live every Tuesday on his Honkytonk Tuesday virtual series, where he plays his favorite ‘80s and ‘90s tunes with surprise guests.

2024 who here with me
I been huntin this song
Here from medina ohio
This song is fire, Evant, Texas😎
Vă salut din România orașul Timișoara.🤗
Hell yeah! Ain't going no where! Love this song speaks the truth!
I'd trust him more then a politician!
Especially in these days💯💯
Sounds like my church lol. Thank God the Lord don't cancel us out! Nobody is perfect and the only One that is was crucified. A church is not a museum for saints, it's a hospital for sinners. If you go to church looking for fault you won't have to look very far but if you go to church looking for Jesus you will find Him. There is no perfect church and if you find one you better not go in because you will probably mess it up and if you are in a church that is already messed up your probably part of it Lol. There is no one so bad that they can't be saved and noone so good that they need not be saved. Jesus loves sinners, He just hates sin because He knows there are consequences to sin that will hurt us. You have to know your a sinner in order to be saved. Paul called himself chief sinner. He said why do I do what I will not to do and don't do what I will to do. Thank God it's not about what we do or don't do to get to heaven. It's about what the precious Lord Jesus did for us!!! Love you Michael Ray and love this song and video! God Bless!
Amen
Amen and Amen
Talk about not being perfect, in my LDS church men can't have piercing, so in my church that I was baptized to I'm an outcast and looked at as the son of satan, Yea nobody's perfect the only one that was, was crucified, but everyone needs to know that you can be religious and have your own personality, you don't have to follow the rules that your church wants you to follow, be you and walk into church with the I don't care addittued, bc in the end when we die, we won't carry anything on our body with us the the afterlife
John 2: 1-11 is peak story telling lol. For those that don’t know it’s the verses where Jesus turns water into wine.
Key word story, as in made up.
Key word "Wine" 😂 he turned it into Wine, not Moonshine
Unfermented wine. They where geting drunk off the stuff.
Werent*
It’s crazy how easily the relation of the song to the verse went so far over your heads it nearly landed in Canada.
Been listening to to this song for an hour straight now😤
Going on strong I see 😂....same eyy
I stopped listening to "new" country years ago. However, when I was scanning radio channels and heard this come on, I was hooked. Thank you for this song!
I agree I think they started to make songs better SOME anyway
Country music can evolve, I try not to hate on any of it. But there is something about classic country in the way it pulls every thing together just right; from the vocals to the melody to the perfect guitar riff with just a bit of fiddle delivered by a country boy with swagger. This song is great songwriting and storytelling, well done.
Heard this on the KISS country, and here I am. We can all agree, man does not live by bread alone
Love his voice!!
You can say that again..
Well how are you doing today laura
I ride horses right next to this church in the Seminole State forest. Camping at Seminole Wind Ranch. Ryan and Vince's place. It's great to see local talent that makes it big!
Everybody on the internet embarrassingly full of shit 😂
Wait really? I live in Florida in Seminole county but never seen that church lol 😂
@@RebaRocks14 me too cuz it don't exist 😂
The real question is why is an account with the handle “GarthBrooks”, responding to a comment on a video that has nothing to do with Garth Brooks?
This reminds me of my dad's family in good old days
Love it!!! Real country is back!!
This is ollie with your evening forecast ITS GONNA RAIN & WHO WANTS THIS DOG . FaMILY GUY ya know what never mind...
Been a long while since I heard a country song like this that just tells a good story.
Blake Shelton vibes
Just heard this on the radio for the first time and wow I thought this must have been a long lost classic country song I never heard. You perfectly captured that classic story without being too similar to any other song. I love it!!
Before I commented I read the posts. You said exactly what I was thinking. Great song.
From a Rocker. 🎸
He probably drank his product right up. 💯
@@JamieFulstone l
Same, it just came on the radio and then I looked it up cause it’s so good
Same here. I miss this kinda true to the bone country
Dame you got the voice of Southern Country, really adds to the song. Speaking of Grate song and Story too. I can imagine somewhere, a Preacher funding his little white church selling "holy water". I can respect that, alot worse things to be selling then Moonshine.
Brother you aint lieing better to sell moonshine than meth or worse
Important
Y'all got that right
Me and my boys been running “holy water” in Georgia sense 2019
@@ZACHCurnuttwe're keeping that tradition in ole Kentucky to
I LOVE this song. I could keep listening to this song on repeat
That voice has deep country roots and you can feel them. Song is cool as hell.
You share my daddy's name- he passed 2015.😞🙏
I agree. Wish it was on spotify or available as a ringtone
Michael Ray I'm from Pennsylvania
@@BearHawks sorry to hear about that
It is cool as hell! 💯💯
Everything about this song is a literal country masterpiece.
💯
Good job Michael. Love it Buddy. Stay safe Nashville Tennessee 😷
It’s Is A Masterpiece Pure Country
It’s Is A Masterpiece It’s Pure Country
And it happened in real life too throughout history
Hey buddy,I know we will never talk or hit each other up,but I'm a born an bread FLA boy,this song is one of the badest songs,hell yeah my brother,keep on keepin on,yeah
Absolutely loved it
Nice to hear a modern Country hit that isn't about the backwoods lifestyles, breakups, or revenge. Good ole' classic storytelling.
Be sure to set your reminder to watch the premiere!
I have my reminder set and I cannot wait This is going to be amazing ! I love this song so much it reminds me of days I spent with my family at our church and having worship services on those back dirt roads. Those were special times well spent together! Thanks for a song that brings those special memories back ! Love you Michael! Love al that you do ! ❤️♥️💕💕💕🥰😘
I miss you Debbie
I did
U know I can't wait! I'm super excited for the new video
@@debbiesmitherman9295 me too
HAA granddaughter of a moonshiner from KY, goes on more than you'd think..I got cold chills when I heard this , I think your one of our country singers of ""whoes going to fill their shoes "" stay on point my gracious man, just saw you on Kelly Clarkson's show. You are a pro.,so very kind and homemade.
🎉 I'm one to subscribe to your future.
Love this song. Brings me back to the stories my great grandfather told me how he ran "holy water" from Alabama to lousiana and Texas. He still made it up until he passed away. Had a still sitting in the closet behind a false wall in the kitchen
Let's add Georgia
Sorry he passed away dude 😞
Mine took me to a cave in north central Arkansas that I didn’t have a clue what it was until I was older. They cooked shine in that cave when he was in his teens. I miss that man and his stories.
Rip to your legendary Great Grandfather, only hope he passed the family secret on to you my brother from another
Great song, great video, but c’mon!! Use a damn Lincoln!
Yeah don’t use a Chevy impala like cmon
Tho it is an amazing song
But somehow CHRYSLER just doesn't sound right...
Your gonna drive me to drinkin if you dont stop driving that hod rod Lincoln
We need more great story songs like this in country music
But some cash...
i know another song called “cattlemans gun” by dean brody its a good story song
Agreed , story telling country is the best 👌🏻
that's the best kind. most "new country" are just love songs 😑
Amen
And there I go again, falling head over heels for a handsome man and an epic song.
Thank God, for Kevin Costner and Yellowstone, for bringing this genre to the front of the line.
Real country in the spirit of Waylon, and Hank. ❤️❤️
Love this song, makes me think about the old days.
For a minute I though that was dirks Bentley in the video lol
Sumbitch tears your head with this one. Coming from a punk rock musician...but if it's good it's good. What a song.
This been my favorite song since it came out. I've listed to it about 500 times
Amazing don't know what else to say..just amazing
Haha, The verses at the end! I can totally see this in some church.
Yes you are right I have also seen that in some church here in Florida
How are you doing?? You seem kinda and I will like us to get to know each other if you don’t mind
This is one of the best one yet y’all don’t like it y’all ain’t American
For those wondering about the bible verse he's referring to at the end, John 2 Verse 1:11 is when Jesus is said to have performed his first of 3 miracles while attending a wedding: He turned water to wine. Well done to whoever wrote that into the song, it's genius and fitting.
Lyrical genius....he is...made me a believer....you can picture all of it. 🤗🤩😎😍
THANKS FOR THE SONG I CAN DO MY FATHER NEW Song
John 2, verses 1-11 specifically.
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
@@NikkiTheOtterThanks for giving detail 😁
This is Country music the way it should be
I live in Florida right next to this church, strait up discovered this song yesterday at wrk I’ll be hearing it for along time it’s that Florida Holi water I’ll b havin for life Florida livin baby
I was just thinking it looks like it's somewhere in the central panhandle like Wakulla county. I live down in Desoto county. But we have some churches like that too out in the sticks down here lol
Awesome song and video thank you for sharing Michael ♥️♥️
Heard this on the radio this morning for the first time and wow. This smacks. Good true country song right here.
Thanks so much for the love and support 🥳🥳👍❤️.. Are you one of my great fans out there?✅✅
Amen
Gotta love this traditional vibe!! Awesome song. Thanks for keeping it Country Micheal Ray!!
Thanks for this kick ass song!
Im in love with the new song's story line....you killed the ending 😁 awesome job a number 1 hit for sure
Omg favorite song love it

@@michaelrayfanschat2163 I am big in to country music and honestly I just found this song and I'm crazy about it. You are awesome but I just started seeing who you are. I'm very glad to have found you great music
My family lives in Kentucky and my pap was a moonshiner so the song hits home
Thanks for your love and support I really appreciate
💗
Why can’t everyone go back to how country used to be? which is this.
Damn straight
One bad ass song.
FAVORITE SONG ❤
Love it, now thats my kind of church and my kind of preacher. Just remember what the good book says. Jesus did turn the water into wine. Praise God! None of us are righteous, no not one. But we love the lord with all our hearts. We were forgiven over 2000 years before we were born. And for thy stomachs sake, drink a little wine!!!!! Bless all.
Absolutely! Praise God!
The love of money is the root of all evil. Did Jesus Christ sell ‘holy water?’ He and his disciples were often hungry.
This song is soo true. Right down to the last verse.
As a Christian... This song has so much truth to the condition of the "church"
Too much truth in that statement sadly. Our last pastor turned out to be a meth head and apparently learned to practice hellfire and brimstone massages, but when the truth came out it wasn't good. He even sued the church and won, because the church wanted his contract broken due to his lifestyle conflict. I really don't understand how you can claim to be a shepherd and cause people to lose faith in the church.
@@shelleyking3443 Sadly, a lot of people leave the church not because they're lost, but because the church no longer follows the rules they teach.
My children and I used to go to this Church
@@elizabethgoodwin4268That's wild!
@@shelleyking3443don't follow the church but the book its self
We need more country music like this
Pretty church, just up the road from my house. Love this song and video
Love your music😊❤
I'll never be against any part of moonshine. It's so much more than it gets credit for and this should be an anthem for it. Great job.
I can’t wait
@@michaelrayfanschat2163 ever since I heard you singing whiskey and rain on my car radio
To me country music is about all heart, there’s always a story
I think if you go deep within your roots and heritage you’ll find some ☺️
@@michaelrayfanschat2163 we need a lot more people like you, to keep the word country music alive, it’s about soul, and purpose

@@michaelrayfanschat2163 it’s a really small town, once you have seen it , within a blink of an eye 👁 it’s gone (joke)
How on earth did this not smash the Country chart? 😡
I agree it should have smashed the country charts great song when I heard it
the moral orf the story here. . . take water and make it into Wine...
Michael's voice is authentically and viscerally soul piercing.
Came here for the worship song Holy Water, but found a pretty good song in the process.
BAD ASS! This song Is bad to the bone and burns like Hell, gets you high as Heaven. "He loved his congregation but made his living selling more than Just the word of the Lord." Amen, brother, Amen.
This song kicks ass
Who ever mixes this song deserves a Grammy. It's been a long time since I could hear the music excellent production. Screaming on the solo well done
This is a song that I can cruise to driving down the road
This sort of makes the me think, 'take the opportunity, know when to quite, and don't be shy about sharing.'
Go Eustis
Goosebumps saying I love it going to the top of my playlist
Love the concert up here in Helena had a blast keep up the good work
Thanks so much for the love and support 🥳🥳👍❤️.. Are you one of my great fans out there?✅✅
Anyone notice that Lincoln is a Chrysler
It is
How much you know about pinelakes on the outskirts of Eustis Michael?
he would know a lot about it he was raised in Cassia and the Cassia community building is where he first publicly sang with his grandpa Amos and his group
I figured he did by the sound of his music
Set The Reminder.. Can't wait 🥰✌️

I've been looking for this song forever! Thank you God I'm here now!
Holly heavenly water better then landfill springs 😇
I spent most of my childhood growing up in small town Florida and I love how much the song sounds like it
One caramel frappeee or the teddy bear gets it
This is what country music is at its true roots!! Loved this performance
Black Jack
Love this song, but he's driving a Chrysler, not a Lincoln haha! I've listened to this song so many times though, I don't really care about that detail, but thought it was funny to point out.
and as a Ford man id like to say there's a BIG difference between a Chrysler and a Lincoln :)
Awesome song-and Michael Ray sang it well..to Kentucky-my grand daddy was a water man but if he was on his porch in Farmington, KY on sunday..then they knew they could stop cause he had his 'holy water' for sale-guess this song with Sunday church day in it made me think of him-love this song. Lyrics..music..definitely 👍

I have the Baltic Sea on my doorstep and that is real holy water 😜 love from good old north Germany ❤️
Just discovered this style of county music. I'm in! Looking forward to more. Great production. PS- How come a Chrysler and not a Lincoln? Thanks.
For the last year ive been racking my brain....... Who is the preacher? I know him from something
I would love to see this song turned into a movie!
Me too
Hate to break it you friend but that's a Plymouth that ain't no lincoln.
It’s gonna be HOT!! 🔥🔥🔥
Holy Water has had an influence on my family, as according to family lore, my one ancestor got kicked out of Ireland for smuggling the good stuff. Oddly enough, my great-aunt thought that she was of Irish Royalty, until she dug up that tidbit.
Holy Hell I love this video of Holy Water 🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Love the song. But that's a chrysler...if you pause the video where it shows the front and back of the car. It spells chrysler
Hits me in the heart. Reminds me of growing up when Taft was a rural part of Orlando. We had a small white church like this and my dad had Holy water he and others "dealt" with. Good old days of the Kissimmee/St. Cloud rodeo and growing up when no one screwed with us.
