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 mama 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 go back on reading letters
Bound between the leathers
Let the tears fall off my face
My heart finds a quiet place
If these worn-out leev's are all that I 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
Let 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
