Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots in the sand
Letter stuffed deep in his vest
He says
"Lord
If You’re listenin'
Just get me home
The bullets can take the rest"
He sees a swing set
Rust on the chain in his mind
Boy with his mama on the porch
Supper steam
Summer sky
Dinnertime
[low vocal register] "If I get one more sunrise
One more crack of that back door
I swear I’ll hold 'em so tight
They won’t doubt my love anymore"
[Chorus]
God is there in the dark
In the dust
In the smoke
In the aching heart
In the hospital chair
In the bathroom floor prayer
In the broken-down truck in the neighbor’s yard
You can curse
You can cry
You can fall apart
But God is there in the dark
[Verse 2]
Stadium lights
White lines cut through the green
He drops to his knees on the sideline
Helmet pressed down to his knees
"She’s tired of the needles
Tired of the beeps in the night
Give her one more Sunday dinner
I’ll take every hit
Lord
I’ll pay that price"
Crowd roars behind him
But all that he hears is her name
Cough in the kitchen
Humming soft while she fought through the pain
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Old man in a recliner
Burn marks on the coffee table
He says
"My baby’s lost out there
Chasing a high
Thinking she’s so able"
Stares at her school photo
Cap and gown
Crooked grin
"Lord
If You see her
Pull her wheels out the ditch she’s in
Trade me my sleep
Take this heart right out my chest
If she finds her way back home
I’ll carry every weight
I’ll carry the rest"
[Bridge]
Same sky over every roof
Same moon over every bed
Same hand reaching through the wreck
Touching helmet
Needle
And a hurting head
[whispered vocals] "Can You hear me?"
Three voices miles apart
One answer in the quiet
Moving through the beating heart
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]

Choruses swell with organ pads, stacked gospel-style harmonies, and a saturated lead guitar answering the vocal lines. Bridge strips back to voice, tambourine, and clean guitar before a final, big-band-style chorus and melodic solo outro., blues
