The cards that I was given Ain't the best hand ever dealt And most of all my troubles I brought on myself Life ain't always easy But what do I expect It's done a real good job Of putting my faith to the test So every now and then When I'm as lost as I can get I go find a winding back road Roll down every window Let the Sun fall on my face My heart finds a quiet place If a tank of gas is all that I got That's how I talk to God I've let my heavy past Weigh down on my chest Had the wind knocked out of my sails I could barely catch my breath And I'm not much on prayin' But my momma says I need it She swears they get to heaven Even when I don't believe it So every now and then When I'm as lost as I can get I fall back on red ink letters Bound between the leathers Let the tears fall off my face My heart finds a quiet place If these worn out leaves are all that I've got That's how I talk to God Every now and then When I need a friend I go find a winding back road Roll down every window I at the Sun fall on my face My heart finds a quiet place If a tank of gas is all that I got If it's a two-lane drive or an empty parking lot That's how I talk to God
