[Verse 1] He walked in bent at the edges Scuffed boots Dirt on his face Laugh like a match in a gas leak Eyes like a wreck on the eastbound lane She'd been praying in parking lot shadows Counting the cracks in her past Thought maybe grace wore a leather jacket Came limping in at last [Chorus] He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption He was every wrong turn she'd ever known Still she burned for that collision You can’t fix a heart with a broken one But she swore this time was different He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption [Verse 2] He said "I ain't much for confessing" Flicked ash in an empty glass Told her his sins like old bar stories Made every failure sound like charm She traced the scars on his knuckles Like verses she could rewrite Convinced that love was a tow truck coming To pull them both upright [Chorus] He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption He was every wrong turn she'd ever known Still she burned for that collision You can’t stitch a soul with a rusted thread But she bet it all on friction He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption [Bridge] Maybe some folks need salvation Maybe some just need a ride He left his past on her kitchen table Took her faith for a drive [Chorus] He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption He was every wrong turn she'd ever known Still she burned for that collision You can’t build a home on a landslide heart But she stayed there in the distance He looked like fifty miles of bad road She thought he could be her redemption
