[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
