lyrics

I got a bible on the dash, ashtray full of ash, and a fifth of a fifth underneath the seat. I'm a walking contradiction, ain't got no conviction, except twisting off 'til I'm high enough where I can't even see.

I gave up trying long ago, hell even if I saw the holes in his hands, or in his feet. Lord I carry a heavy load, come save my soul, but face-to-face I still might not believe.

One night in September, a late rain in the summer, I rounded a curve and that truck never saw me. I walked away without a scratch, just an old book off the dash, but the Lord took my chevy and my wife away from me.
(repeat chorus)

I found Jesus on the side of the road, looking for work to send money back home to Mexico. Gave him a dollar for my sake, so I could say I did a little to ease his pain.
(repeat chorus)

I got her bible on the dash, ashtray full of ash, and a handle on Jim Beam but not my sanity. I'm a walking contradiction, ain't got no conviction, except twisting off 'til I'm high enough where I can't even see.
