Talk to God
Finding Solace: Conversations with the Divine in Life's Backroads
Lyrics
The cards that I was given ain't the best hand ever dealt
The circumstances I've faced in life are not the most favorable.
And most of all my troubles I brought on myself
I am responsible for most of my troubles.
Life ain't always easy but what do I expect
Life is challenging, and I shouldn't expect it to be easy.
It's done a real good job of putting my faith to the test
Life has effectively tested my faith.
So every now and then when I'm as lost as I can get
At times when I feel completely lost,
I go find a winding back road roll down every window
I seek solace by driving on secluded back roads.
Let the sun fall on my face my heart finds a quiet place
I open all the windows, let the sun touch my face, and find a peaceful moment.
If a tank of gas is all that I got
If I only have a tank of gas,
That's how I talk to God
That's my way of connecting with God.
I've let my heavy past weigh down on my chest
I've allowed my difficult past to burden me.
Had the wind knock out of my sails I could barely catch my breath
Challenges have taken the wind out of my sails, making it hard to breathe.
And I'm not much on prayin' but my Momma says I need it
While I'm not inclined to pray,
She swears they get to heaven even when I don't believe it
My mother believes in the power of prayer, even when I'm skeptical.
So every now and then when I'm as lost as I can get
Similar to earlier, when I'm deeply lost,
I fall back on red ink letters bound between the leathers
I turn to written words, perhaps letters, enclosed in covers or bindings.
Let the tears roll off my face my heart finds a quiet place
I let my tears flow, finding a quiet place in my heart.
If these worn-out leaves are all that I got
If all I have are worn-out leaves,
That's how I talk to God
That's my way of communicating with God.
Every now and then when I need a friend
When I need a friend,
I go find a winding back road roll down every window
I go back to driving on secluded back roads, opening windows and letting the sun touch my face.
Let the sun fall on my face my heart finds a quiet place
Similar to earlier lines, finding a quiet place in my heart.
If a tank of gas is all that I got
If a tank of gas is all I have,
If it's a two-lane drive or an empty parking lot
Whether it's a two-lane drive or an empty parking lot,
That's how I talk to God
That's how I connect with God.
