Backroad Hallelujah

[Verse 1]

You left your denim jacket

On the chair by my front door

Smells like July rain

And the life we planned before

Two coffee cups still waiting

For a morning that got lost

I trace your name in dust

Count the things this silence cost

[Chorus]

Backroad hallelujah

Singing your name to the sky

Windows down

Heart wide open

Letting these miles say goodbye

If healing’s somewhere past that county line

I’ll drive until the tears run dry

Backroad hallelujah

Teaching this stubborn heart to cry (oh to cry)

[Verse 2]

Your picture on the dashboard

Keeps sliding to my knee

Like it wants one more chance

To argue for you and me

But the tank is full of heartache

And the station’s out of lies

So I trade our almost-forever

For a sunset in my eyes

[Chorus]

Backroad hallelujah

Singing your name to the sky

Windows down

Heart wide open

Letting these miles say goodbye

If healing’s somewhere past that county line

I’ll drive until the tears run dry

Backroad hallelujah

Teaching this stubborn heart to cry (hallelujah)

[Bridge]

Maybe grace looks like gravel

Kicking up behind these wheels

Maybe faith is just the distance

Between what hurts and what heals (yeah)

[Chorus]

Backroad hallelujah

Singing your name to the sky

Windows down

Heart wide open

Letting these miles say goodbye

If healing’s somewhere past that county line

I’ll drive until the tears run dry

Backroad hallelujah

One last amen to you and I (one last time)

Backroad hallelujah

Letting this broken heart survive
