[Verse 1] Dust on my boots Gas on my shirt Sunburnt arm hangin’ out that window Laugh on my lips Dirt on my hands Still chasin’ down a half-tank dream [Pre-Chorus] Mama said “boy That road runs out” Daddy just grinned Said “ride it out” Caught between a prayer And a curse I love [Chorus] This is my backroad hallelujah Gravel choir singin’ under these tires Yeah I was born for the long-way ’round Cracked screen Map folded on the dash If I get lost I’ll just drive on past Raise my hands to the dust and the diesel sky Backroad hallelujah (I’m still alive) [Verse 2] Truck-stop coffee Cold as my ex Old receipt for a ring in the console Name on a paycheck Spelled half wrong Still cashes just the same on Friday [Pre-Chorus] Radio preacher talks about grace I find my faith in an open space Where the field runs wild And the fence gives up [Chorus] This is my backroad hallelujah Gravel choir singin’ under these tires Yeah I was born for the long-way ’round Cracked screen Map folded on the dash If I get lost I’ll just drive on past Raise my hands to the dust and the diesel sky Backroad hallelujah (I’m still alive) [Bridge] Got a scar on my knuckle from a barroom door Kiss on my neck from a girl out in Mobile I ain’t rich I ain’t right But I’m rollin’ still Headlights high like a tent revival [Chorus] This is my backroad hallelujah Gravel choir singin’ under these tires Yeah I was born for the long-way ’round Cracked screen Map folded on the dash If I get lost I’ll just drive on past Raise my hands to the dust and the diesel sky Backroad hallelujah (backroad hallelujah) Backroad hallelujah (I’m still alive)
