Jason Upton's song reflects on disillusionment, loneliness, and the struggle to see God's presence in difficult circumstances. Drawing from the biblical story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, the lyrics explore feelings of anger toward God and country, as well as the temptation to overlook what is right in front of us. The song invites listeners to recognize their own moments of doubt and distraction, and to find hope in the journey of faith even when the path seems unclear.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Have you ever said goodbye to a hero

Have you ever had to lay away your dreams

Have you ever been so lonely that a strangers your best friend

Then you'll know what I mean


So this is our highway to heaven

Our American dream

The two fools on the road to Emmaus

Well they might as well be you and me


Have you ever been angry at your country

Have you ever been angry at your God

Have you ever been so angry

That you can't see what you've got right in front of you


Have you ever been distracted by the homeless

Have you ever thrown your dollar with disgust

Have you ever thought the great commissions just too great a cost

Have you ever played the fool
