Backroad To Heaven

This ballcap ain't no halo

These redwings sure can't fly

This Copenhagen habit man

That's between him and I

I've spent more time on a jon boat

Than I have in a pinewood pew

When I cast a line out on the lake

Is where these prayers get through

Mama and the preacher worry

When I don't show up on time

But I'm just takin' the long way around

Somewhere between wrong and right

And I ain't straight and narrow

I wind like an unpaved road

This red clay covered Chevrolet

Ain't made for a street of gold

I'll get lost along the way

But I know my way back home

There's been rough times in my rearview

He keeps no records of my wrongs

Somewhere past them pearly gates

He'll meet me at a barbed-wire fence

And let me in on a backroad to Heaven

This muddy water worship's

Got a way to wash me clean

Forty days out in the wild

Don't sound bad to me

I may stumble when I walk

Ride the line when I talk

But he still sits that shotgun seat

Even though he knows my faults

I ain't straight and narrow

I wind like an unpaved road

This red clay covered Chevrolet

Ain't made for a street of gold

I'll get lost along the way

But I know my way back home

There's been rough times in my rearview

He keeps no records of my wrongs

Somewhere past them pearly gates

He'll meet me at a barbed-wire fence

And let me in on a, a backroad to Heaven

A backroad to Heaven

I ain't straight and narrow

I wind like an unpaved road

This red clay covered Chevrolet

Ain't made for a street of gold

And I'll get lost along the way

But he always leads me home

There's been rough times in my rearview

He keeps no records of my wrongs

Somewhere past them pearly gates

He'll meet me at a barbed-wire fence

And let me in, yeah, let me in

On a backroad to Heaven

A backroad to Heaven
