Check Engine and Grace

[Verse 1] Got a 94 Ford with a heart like mine Rust on the doors, but she still rides fine Check engine light’s been glowin red But I just pray and push ahead [Verse 2] She sits beside me, scarf on tight Tryin’ to smile through another fight We don’t talk much on the ride But her hand finds mine every time [Chorus] We’re runnin on fumes and borrowed time But the Lord’s been drivin this frame of mine Ain’t got the cash to fix what breaks But we get there on check engine and grace Every mile’s a miracle made Outta busted belts and silent faith We’re drivin through hell in a holy place Holdin’ on with check engine and grace [Verse 3] That old clinic knows our name She jokes it’s like a second home these days I kiss her head and park out back Prayin’ we both make it down that track [Chorus] We’re runnin on fumes and borrowed time But the Lord’s been drivin’ this frame of mine Ain’t got the cash to fix what breaks But we get there on check engine and grace Every mile’s a miracle made Outta busted belts and silent faith We’re drivin through hell in a holy place Holdin’ on with check engine and grace [Bridge] Doctors talk and numbers rise But love don’t come with a price She still laughs when I miss the turn Says, If we make it, we both might learn [Final Chorus] Still runnin on fumes and borrowed time But there’s angels ridin’ in that line And I don’t need no polished faith Just a wheel, her hand, and a little grace Every mile’s a battle we face But hope rides shotgun in her place We’re drivin through fire with heaven’s face Holdin on with check engine and grace
