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
