In my rearview mirror 
My life is getting clearer 
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears 
These trinkets once were treasure 
Life changes like the weather 
You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here 
So I drive, watching white lines passing by 
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us 

Hey, hey, I finally found my way 
Say goodbye to yesterday 
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway 
Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go 
Out on this open road 
It's independence day on this lost highway 

I don't know where I'm going 
But I know where I've been 
Now I'm afraid of going back again 
So I drive, years and miles are flying by 
And waiting there to great us 
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus 

Oh patron saint of lonely souls 
To tell this boy which way to go 
Guide the car, you got the keys 
Farewell to mediocrity 
Kicking off the [bad word] control 
And turning up the radio 
Got just enough religion 
And a half tank of [bad word] on, let's go
