Tennessee Ghost

Verse 1

Sixty in the gravel and a prayer on my lips

Tattooed knuckles on the wheel, the church is still asleep

Another run behind me, another bill I skipped

But the sunrise over the river's where I come to feel complete

Pre-Chorus

I ain't the boy they wanted

I'm the one they never planned

But the whiskey and the worship

Both keep shaking my hand

Chorus

'Cause I'm a backroads redemption

Graceland on a gravel road

Chasing every white line

Carrying a heart that's heavy but gold

Halfway to blessed

And further from alone

Yeah I'm a backroads redemption

Trying to find my way home

Post-Chorus

(Backroads redemption)

(Trying to find my way home)

Verse 2

Mama prayed in the kitchen, Daddy drank away the shame

I wore the stains like armor till they fit me like a name

The judge read off my record like a psalm on repeat

But love reached through the bars and pulled me back onto my feet

Pre-Chorus

I ain't the man they wrote about

I'm rewriting every page

With the scrapes I got from falling

And the faith I got from grace

Chorus

'Cause I'm a backroads redemption

Graceland on a gravel road

Chasing every white line

Carrying a heart that's heavy but gold

Halfway to blessed

And further from alone

Yeah I'm a backroads redemption

Trying to find my way home

Bridge

Every scar's a sermon

Every tear a hymn

The crooked road I'm on now

Still leads to Him

Chorus

'Cause I'm a backroads redemption

Graceland on a gravel road

Chasing every white line

Carrying a heart that's heavy but gold

Halfway to blessed

And further from alone

Yeah I'm a backroads redemption

Trying to find my way home

Outro

(Trying to find my way home)
