Lyrics

I had a heart like a backroad
Dusty from all that I'd done
Thought I knew better thought I was clever
Turned my back on the Son
Tried to find peace in the bright lights
But it never lit the flame
And the nights got long and the peace was gone
I was tired of runnin' from grace
Every mile I put behind me
Was a prayer I never prayed
I was a runaway head full of pain
Foot on the gas in the drivin' rain
Tried to outrun what I couldn't escape
But mercy found me anyway
Now I ain't lookin' over my shoulder no more
A prodigal come knockin' on the Lord's front door
He took me in arms open wide
Now I'm stayin' where the light don't die
I don't need to run no more
No, I don't need to run no more
I traded lies for a little bit of truth
And the chains for a rugged old cross
He gave me peace He gave me purpose
Showed me love that don't get lost
Now I wake up with a fire
I used to only fake
He turned this rebel road to redemption
And I ain't pumpin' the brakes
Yeah I tried to drown the silence
But He whispered through the waves
And every step I thought I wandered
He was leadin' me by grace
I was a runaway head full of pain
Foot on the gas in the drivin' rain
Tried to outrun what I couldn't escape
But mercy found me anyway
Now I ain't lookin' over my shoulder no more
A prodigal come knockin' on the Lord's front door
He took me in arms open wide
Now I'm stayin' where the light don't die
I don't need to run no more
No, I don't need to run no more
There's freedom in surrender
There's healing in the scars
He saw my mess and called it His
Now I'm safe in his arms
I was a runaway
