The cards that I was given
Ain't the best hand ever dealt
And most of all my troubles
I brought on myself

Life ain't always easy
But what do I expect
It's done a real good job
Of putting my faith to the test

So every now and then
When I'm as lost as I can get
I go find a winding back road
Roll down every window

Let the Sun fall on my face
My heart finds a quiet place
If a tank of gas is all that I got
That's how I talk to God

I've let my heavy past
Weigh down on my chest
Had the wind knocked out of my sails
I could barely catch my breath

And I'm not much on prayin'
But my momma says I need it
She swears they get to heaven
Even when I don't believe it

So every now and then
When I'm as lost as I can get
I fall back on red ink letters
Bound between the leathers

Let the tears fall off my face
My heart finds a quiet place
If these worn out leaves are all that I've got
That's how I talk to God

Every now and then
When I need a friend
I go find a winding back road
Roll down every window I at the Sun fall on my face

My heart finds a quiet place
If a tank of gas is all that I got
If it's a two-lane drive or an empty parking lot
That's how I talk to God
