Deliverance Road

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 got down to 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 trucks stops

And tumble weeds have faded

And the radio sings a country song

I'll still hear the preacher ma

Doing the best that he can

To send us down Deliverance Road

Deliverance Road
