Salvation

By Rory Feek

Lyrics

One day when I was a little down on my luck

I stood on the highway in the rain

And I sent up a prayer for heaven-bound truck 

And like and angel a diesel it came 


Well the truck driver said 

He was a good Chritian man 

And He laid the salvation on thick 

He held two plastic statues in the palm of his hand 

And He told me to just take my pick 


He said I keep mine face the highway

That dashboards a good place to stand

I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going 

Cause He already knows where I've been 


Somewhere outside Texas we parted ways 

And I kept his advice through the years 

Whatever I'm ridin' I make sure it stays 

Between the radio dial and the mirror


He said I keep mine face the highway

That dashboards a good place to stand

I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going 

Cause He already knows where I've been 


He knows where I've drifted 

He knows where I've sinned 

He's there to make sure 

I don't go there again 


A guy like me needs all the help he can get

So I gentle reminder I'm not perfect yet 


I keep mine face the highway

That dashboards a good place to stand

I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going 

Cause He already knows where I've been 


I'd rather have Jesus watch where I'm going 

Cause He already knows where I've been
