Verse 1:
Mama’s voice on the radio cracklin’ through the dash,
Sunset paintin’ gold across the overpass.
This ol’ truck’s got rust, but it still rides true,
Just like the way I keep holdin’ on to you.
Chorus:
I’ve been sendin’ dirt road prayers up to the sky,
Hopin’ heaven hears a small-town guy.
A little bit lost, a little bit worn,
But love like this don’t fade or get torn.
You’re the light in my rearview, even when you’re gone,
And I keep drivin’ on.
Verse 2:
We carved our names in the old oak tree,
Right where you first said you’d marry me.
Now I stop by when the nights feel long,
Tell the wind all the things I did wrong.
Chorus:
I’ve been sendin’ dirt road prayers up to the sky,
Hopin’ heaven hears a small-town guy.
A little bit lost, a little bit worn,
But love like this don’t fade or get torn.
You’re the light in my rearview, even when you’re gone,
And I keep drivin’ on.
Bridge:
They say time heals, but they never say when,
So I drive these roads and talk to you again.
Final Chorus:
I’m still sendin’ dirt road prayers every night,
With a heart that breaks in the pale moonlight.
I might be broke, but I still believe,
You’re out there waitin’ at the end for me.
And when my wheels stop rollin’, I’ll be home,
Where I won’t drive alone.
