Dashboard Jesus
Chasing Freedom with Fifty Dollars and a Dashboard Jesus
Lyrics
The sun's goin' down on those little white lines
The day is ending on the road marked by white lines.
There's a whole lot of homesick, ridin' shotgun on the passenger side
Many people feeling homesick are accompanying her on the journey, sitting in the passenger seat.
Oh, and what's up ahead is not quite clear
Uncertainty lies ahead in her journey.
But everything she knew just keeps gettin' smaller in the rearview mirror
Her past and familiar things are gradually fading away in the rearview mirror.
Any night, Chevrolet
Regardless of the night, she's driving a Chevrolet.
The AC's busted, but the radio plays
The air conditioning is not working, but the radio is playing.
As she flies on faith down the highway
She continues her journey with faith, flying down the highway.
Everybody says she's dreamin'
People criticize her for dreaming.
Call her crazy for believin'
They consider her crazy for believing in her dreams.
Sometimes, all you really need is
Sometimes, all she needs is minimal resources.
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Her essentials for the journey are just fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus.
Maybe she'll find a little one-horse-town
She may discover a small town and make it her home.
Dip her toes in the sand on the edge of the ocean and put her roots down
Imagining a peaceful life by the ocean, establishing roots.
Maybe bright city lights will call her name
The allure of city lights may attract her.
Long as she's goin' somewhere, it don't matter to her either way
As long as she's going somewhere, the destination doesn't matter.
Everybody says she's dreamin'
People still doubt her dreams.
Call her crazy for believin'
They label her crazy for holding onto her beliefs.
Sometimes, all you really need is
Reiterating that sometimes, minimal resources are sufficient.
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus remain essential for her journey.
Everybody says she's dreamin'
Despite criticism, she persists in dreaming.
Crazy for believin'
People view her as crazy for maintaining her beliefs.
But all you really need is
Reemphasizing that minimal resources are all she needs.
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus are her companions.
She's leavin'
She is leaving her current situation.
Chasin' down the taste of freedom
Chasing after the taste of freedom.
Sometimes, all you really need is
Highlighting that sometimes, minimal resources are sufficient for the journey.
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus are reiterated as essential.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Concluding affirmation of her departure and pursuit of freedom.
