Lyrics
Verse 1
Got a cracked windshield and a half a tank of hopeDuct tape holdin' my dashboard and my soulMama's rosary swingin' from the mirrorPrayin' this old truck makes Tulsa 'fore it's coldEvery mile marker's a hymn I never sangEvery truck stop coffee tastes like graceI left a town that never knew my nameNow I'm chasin' somethin' I can't quite place
Pre‑Chorus
Hallelujah, hear that diesel moanLord, I'm on my way home
Chorus
This is turnpike gospelWhite lines for a choirSeventy-five on a sermonPreachin' through a blown-out tireI've been lost, I've been lowI've been sinner, I've been saintThis is turnpike gospelAin't no church that I can't make
Verse 2
Passed a billboard sayin' Jesus savesPassed another sellin' fireworks and beerI reckon both of 'em are tellin' truthDepends on how bad you need it hereRadio's fadin' in and out of staticSome old steel guitar cryin' through the humI turn it up and roll the window downLet the prairie wind tell me where I'm from
Pre‑Chorus
Hallelujah, hear that diesel moanLord, I'm on my way home
Chorus
This is turnpike gospelWhite lines for a choirSeventy-five on a sermonPreachin' through a blown-out tireI've been lost, I've been lowI've been sinner, I've been saintThis is turnpike gospelAin't no church that I can't make
Bridge
Toll booth angel with a tired smileSaid "son, you look like you've been gone a while"I said "ma'am, I've been everywhere but right"She said "keep drivin', you'll be home tonight"
Final Chorus
This is turnpike gospelWhite lines for a choirSeventy-five on a sermonPreachin' through a blown-out tireI've been lost, I've been lowI've been sinner, I've been saintThis is turnpike gospelAin't no church that I can't make
Outro
HallelujahAin't no church that I can't make
