lyrics

There are trips you take and there are trips that take you
The bigger the lie, the more it's true
Nothing in the trunk, nothing to my name
But a vague memory sprinkled with your shame


Sleepy dreamless nights spent in the backseat
Curled up with my thought of escaping the heat
Looking at the stars and wondering which one
Will be the last one I see when it's all said and done


But I'm never alone
My guilt is my friend and it sits on my throne


Up early the next day, the road is calling
When you face your destiny there's no stalling
It's all about salvation about redeeming my soul
As I keep on driving clear cross the dust bowl


I see a lot of people but I don't meet anyone
I'm just driving down the road till I run out of sun
Mile after mile, town after town
Just keeping my head straight and the hammer down


But I'm never alone
My guilt is my friend and it sits on my throne



Haven't had a drink in a month of Sundays
Trying to stay clear from my own evil ways
A day will come again when I can sip a few
But for now I have a lease on life to renew


Born again this morning I'll be dead by sunset
All covered in sin and a cold, cold sweat
One more day of driving in my stolen Cadillac
And I'll close my eyes on this world of black.


But I'm never alone
My guilt is my friend and it sits on my throne



The preacher tipped me back and the river took me in
I am clear of all guilt, i am clean of all sin
I might stick around and make a few friends
Yeah I might stick around and make my amends


But I'm never alone
The Lord is my friend and He sits on my throne
