Hangin' There

I said I'm gonna quit drinking

So grab your things and come on back inside

She said, "This time I'm really leaving

I'm done fallin' for your whiskey-soaked lies"

Then she turned around, walked down the driveway

And opened the door to my Chevrolet

She took off her gold cross necklace

And hung it there inside, and said

It's hangin' there off your rearview mirror

It'll get you where you gotta go

On a wing and a prayer, you just let go of the wheel

When you're losing your faith down them wrong roads

When the red lights turn back into yellow

And you can't tell the good from the devil

It'll remind you to let up on the pedal

And slow it down

Just hangin' there

It led me down to a basement

Of a church, and I told them my name

I said, "I'm tired of living wasted

And now I know I got no one left to blame"

It took a goodbye kiss from an angel

To finally put the bottle down

And I guess God really knew what he was doing

When he let her walk out

And she said

It's hangin' there off your rearview mirror

It'll get you where you gotta go

On a wing and a prayer, you just let go of the wheel

When you're losing your faith down them wrong roads

When the red lights turn back into yellow

And you can't tell the good from the devil

It'll remind you to let up on the pedal

And slow it down

Just hangin' there

Well, she knew she couldn't love it out of me

And He knew I needed to be set free

And I still see her every time I climb up in that driver's seat

It's hangin' there off our rearview mirror

And it's showing me where I gotta go

On a wing and a prayer, I just let go of the wheel

When I'm losing my faith down them wrong roads

When the red lights turn back into yellow

And I can't tell the good from the devil

It reminds me to let up on the pedal

And slow it down

Just hangin' there

I said I'm gonna quit drinking

So grab your things and come on back inside
