Dark Dirt Road

(Verse 1)
I was halfway to nowhere on a tank of regret
With the devil riding shotgun and a Bible on the dash
Headlights shaking on the lines I ain’t crossed yet
And a past in the mirror moving way too fast

Gravel humming underneath these worn-out tires
Lord knows I’ve been lost before
Just a sinner chasing down a little fire
On this lonely dark dirt road

(Chorus)
I’ve been running from the man I became
Every mile just feeding the flame
Devil on my shoulder, dust in my lungs
Praying someday my past comes undone

I hear redemption calling my name
But I’m still shackled to the blame
Miles keep rolling under my load
Trying to find God on a dark dirt road

(Verse 2)
Saw a little white church by a county line
Cross lit up in the midnight wind
Made me think about the prayers of mine
I ain’t prayed since I was a kid

Mama used to say the Lord sees all
Even fools who lose their way
So I’m driving on through the midnight call
Hoping mercy’s still awake

(Bridge)
Lord, if You’re listening, I’m still holding on
To the man I was, and the wrongs I’ve done
Every mile I drive, every prayer I say
Just trying to make it through another day

(Final Chorus)
I’ve been running from the man I became
Every mile just feeding the flame
Devil on my shoulder, dust in my lungs
Praying someday my past comes undone

I hear redemption calling my name
But I’m still shackled to the blame
Miles keep rolling under my load
Trying to find God on a dark dirt road
