[Verse 1] You showed up in a sundress Mud on your boots Red eyes Threw your suitcase in the backseat Said “I’m done with his cheap lies” Small-town halo cracked and bent Mascara on your thumb You laughed and said “Guess heaven sent The wrong girl when I was young” [Chorus] You got angel wings in the backseat Halo buried under old receipts You’re a prayer I never learned to speak But I’m trying You’re a shotgun seat salvation Cussing out the whole creation We’re too lost for any congregation But we’re flying Angel wings in the backseat And they shine when you’re driving [Verse 2] We hit that county line sign You kicked your boots on my dash Singing all the wrong words Turning all the wrong to past You said “I don’t need saving Just somewhere I can land” So I took my busted faith And I put it in your hands [Chorus] You got angel wings in the backseat Halo buried under old receipts You’re a prayer I never learned to speak But I’m trying You’re a shotgun seat salvation Cussing out the whole creation We’re too lost for any congregation But we’re flying Angel wings in the backseat And they shine when you’re driving [Bridge] If grace is just a slow song On a long road Under dark clouds Then let the white lines keep us honest Let your wild heart sing out loud (sing out loud, hey!) If heaven ever calls you home I’ll say I knew you when You were breaking through your broken Learning how to rise again [Chorus] You got angel wings in the backseat Halo buried under old receipts You’re a prayer I never learned to speak But I’m trying You’re a shotgun seat salvation Cussing out the whole creation We’re too lost for any congregation But we’re flying Angel wings in the backseat Yeah We’re bruised But we’re trying Angel wings in the backseat Still shine when you’re driving

Male vocals with a worn-in edge; verses stay intimate with sparse strums and subtle pads, then choruses explode with stacked harmonies and ringing power chords. Bridge lifts with half-time groove and a soaring melodic hook, building to a final, shout-along outro chorus., country rock, moody, alternative country, male vocals, country, electric, pop rock, pop
