This ballcap ain't no halo
These redwings sure can't fly
This Copenhagen habit Man, that's between Him and I
I've spent more time on a jon boat
Than I have in a pine wood pew
When I cast a line out on a lake Is where these prayers get through
Mama and the preacher worry when I don't show up on time But I'm just takin' the long way round somewhere between wrong and right
I ain't straight and narrow I wind like an unpaved road This red-clay-covered Chevrolet Ain't made for a street of gold I'll get lost along the way But I know my way back home There's been rough times in my rearview
He keeps no records of my wrongs
Somewhere past them pearly gates,
He'll meet me at a barbed wire fence
And let me in On a backroad to Heaven
This muddy water worship's
Got a way of washing me clean
40 days out in the wild Don't sound bad to me
I may stumble in my walk, ride the line when I talk But He still sits that shotgun seat, even though He knows my faults
I ain't straight and narrow I wind like an unpaved road This red-clay-covered Chevrolet Ain't made for a street of gold I'll get lost along the way But I know my way back home There's been rough times in my rearview
He keeps no records of my wrongs
Somewhere past them pearly gates,
He'll meet me at a barbed wire fence
And let me in On a backroad to Heaven
I ain't straight and narrow I wind like an unpaved road This red-clay-covered Chevrolet Ain't made for a street of gold I'll get lost along the way But He always leads me home There's been rough times in my rearview
He keeps no records of my wrongs
Somewhere past them pearly gates,
He'll meet me at a barbed wire fence
And let me in Yeah, let me in On a backroad to Heaven Backroad to Heaven"
