[Intro]
G . D . Cadd9
G . D . Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G G
Midnight drives and caffeine highs
G G
Crossing countless county lines
Cadd9 Cadd9
I get way more than ample time to think
G G
My phone dies to no surprise
G G
CD skips the songs I like
Cadd9 Cadd9
That FM preacher might be right
E D
But he hits too close to home
E
So I turned on my dad's old CB
D
Started searching all those frequencies
E D
Heard a graveled voice on channel 3
Cadd9
So I tuned in for a while
[Chorus]
G
He said hey if you're listenin'
G
And you're out there on your own
Cadd9
If you're runnin' from somethin'
Cadd9
Or a couple miles from home
E
This ain't no fire and brimstone
D
I just want you to know
Cadd9
That there's hope or forgiveness
E D
Never being alone
E D
My whole life it changed that night
E D Cadd9
50 miles from Tupelo
Cadd9
You can lead a man to Jesus
D
On a CB radio
[Verse 2]
G G
He went on and on about his life
G G
'bout the day he lost his wife
Cadd9 Cadd9
And all the times he wasn't thinking right
Cadd9 Cadd9
With the bottle in his hand
G G
Used to wish he could turn back time
G G
Fix those loose ends left untied
Cadd9 E
How it's hard as hell to swallow pride
D Cadd9
When it's all you have to hold
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
E D
Well the signal started fadin'
Cadd9 D
About the time the dawn was breaking
E D
I parked the car and started praying
Cadd9
For the first time in a while
[Chorus]
G
Well I said hey if you're listening
G
I'm just out on this road
Cadd9
I've been running from something
Cadd9
I'm a long long way from home
E
I've had my fair share of mess-ups
D
And I'm needin' to know
E D
That there's hope or forgiveness
NC
Never being alone
E D
My whole life it changed that night
E D Cadd9
50 miles from Tupelo
Cadd9
You can lead a man to Jesus
D
