Dashboard Jesus

(album: Carly Pearce - 2020)

The sun's going down on those little white lines
There's a whole lot of home sick, riding shotgun on the passenger side
Oh, and what's up ahead, it's not quite clear
But everything she knew just keeps getting smaller in the rearview mirror

89 Chevrolet
The AC's busted, but the radio plays
As she flies on faith down the highway

Everybody says she's dreaming
Call her crazy for believing
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus

Maybe she'll find a little one horse town
Or dip her toes in the sand on the edge of the ocean and put her roots down
Maybe bright city lights will call her name
Long as she's going somewhere, it don't matter to her either way

Everybody says she's dreaming
Call her crazy for believing
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus

Everybody says she's dreaming
Crazy for believing
But all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
She's leaving
Chasing down the taste of freedom
Sometimes, all you really need is
Fifty dollars and a dashboard Jesus
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
