Backroad Revival

There I was… middle of nowhere… Didn’t know Heaven had a backroad with my name on it Sun goin’ down on a broke-down soul Head full of noise, heart full of holes Kickin’ up dust in a rusted-out ride Tryin’ to outrun all the guilt inside Rearview mirror got ghosts in it Every bad choice got a cost with it Felt like I was too far gone to be found Like grace don’t reach this side of town But through the silence, through the shame I heard a whisper say my name On a backroad revival, where the lost get found Where the weight falls off when you lay it down I felt fire in my bones, felt the chains let go When I called on a name that I didn’t know Now I’m livin’ proof that mercy’s real Yeah, I felt that touch, yeah, I felt that heal If you’re runnin’ on empty, runnin’ wild and free— There’s a backroad revival where you’re meant to be Yeah, I was knee-deep, waist-high in sin Same old cycle, fallin’ again Talkin’ real tough but I felt real weak Couldn’t find peace no matter what I’d seek Friday nights turned to Sunday shame Didn’t even like who I became Then I hit rock bottom, face in the dirt That’s when I finally cried out hurt Didn’t clean up, didn’t pretend I just called on Him right where I’d been On a backroad revival, where the lost get found Where the weight falls off when you lay it down I felt fire in my bones, felt the chains let go When I called on a name that I didn’t know Now I’m livin’ proof that mercy’s real Yeah, I felt that touch, yeah, I felt that heal If you’re runnin’ on empty, runnin’ wild and free— There’s a backroad revival where you’re meant to be Mama’s Bible on the dash that night Opened up in the headlights’ light Page was worn, words cut deep Felt like they were talkin’ straight to me “All who’s weary, come and find rest” Man, that hit me right in the chest So I pulled that truck to the side of the road And let it all go, just let it go Didn’t matter where I’d been Love like that just pulled me in He met me right there in the middle of my mess Didn’t ask no questions, didn’t second guess Said “You’re mine, yeah I paid that cost” On a rugged cross where the blood ran off From a backseat sinner to a front-line witness From a cold, hard heart to forgiveness Ain’t no road too far, ain’t no soul too gone When you turn it around and come back home You might be drivin’ right now… Tryin’ to drown out that voice in your head… But that ain’t guilt… that’s Him callin’ you… Tellin’ you it ain’t over On a backroad revival, where the lost get found (get found!) Where the weight falls off when you lay it down (lay it down!) Feel the fire in your bones, let the chains let go Just call on His name, let it overflow You’re livin’ proof that mercy’s real You can feel that touch, you can feel that heal If you’re runnin’ on empty, don’t you wait, don’t you be— There’s a backroad revival where you’re meant to be Backroad revival… (yeah…) He’ll meet you right where you are… No matter how far… Just turn that wheel… come on home… Backroad revival…
