I drove a long, long way
Without drinking.
I listened to the Baptist Radio.
There was a blue-gray sky.
As I passed the ghost town by,
And headed down to
Where nobody knows me.
I was jaded by another passing lover.
I couldn't bring myself to wonder why.
And the man on the radio,
Said "Hey don't you wanna go
Down to the Deliverance Road"
Deliverance Road.
I saw three little birds sitting on a doorstep,
And two little boys in their Sunday best.
And the preacher's voice was strong.
The big lady sang along,
As I listened,
Rolling down Deliverance Road.
Deliverance Road.
I may never walk
Through the gates of Heaven.
I may never hear the Angel's Serenade
But when the wind picks up
And drags the dust
I'm gonna stop my car,
Look straight up, and the rain
Might wash my sins away.
But after all the truck stops.
And tumble weeds have faded,
And the radio sings a country song,
I'll still hear the Preacher man
Doin' the best that he can
To send us down Deliverance Road.
Deliverance Road.
