Salvation Mountain

Driving through the desert in a metal tin can

The Valley of Death breathing down my neck

Hit the bottom of a bottomless truck stop cup of black coffee

Hey Hey Hey

 

Put my last ten bucks of quarters in the gas tank

Willie on the radio keeping me awake

Pull off at Cadillac Ranch on the Interstate

In the the pouring rain

Hey Hey Hey

 

Gonna climb me a mountain

Find salvation

Been down for so damn long now

Lord I need some elevation

 

98 in the shade and pulling into Memphis

Graceland keychains, gold plate necklace

Worshipping an old King who left the building

Let us sing

hey hey hey

 

Sitting in the stained glass rainbows of the Ryman

On the stage Mama singing Patsy Cline and

The house gets crowded and the crowd gets shouted

They’re on their feet now

Hey hey hey

 

Gonna climb me a mountain

Find salvation

Been down for so damn long now

Lord I need some elevation

 

Headlights shining while I’m long white line-in’

Have a way of easing my mind

Born to wander til I’m called up yonder

Til the wheels come off I’m gonna ride, ride, ride

 

50 miles from the Mexican border

Lenny painting his mountain for the Lord and

Hearts light up like a Loves truck stop

Love one another now

Hey hey hey
