[Verse 1] I was mopping up the coffee When the black sedan rolled in Headlights on the pump glass Like a sin I couldn't pin Driver never shut the engine Just tossed it out and grinned A duffel hit the gravel Then he disappeared again [Pre-Chorus] No plate No name Just taillights on the rain I looked down Looked up Too late to call his game [Chorus] Gas station gospel Hand me the bag Gas station gospel You don't look back One man's problem On my front step Gas station gospel I ain't prayed yet [Verse 2] Zipper full of red bandanas And a thousand-dollar smell A busted phone, three motel keys And a note I couldn't tell Said "If the law comes asking Tell 'em you don't know my face" So I locked it in the office By the penny jar and mace [Pre-Chorus] Doorbell chime Tape hiss My pulse went dry and thin I heard my own boots On the tile Like somebody else walked in [Chorus] Gas station gospel Hand me the bag Gas station gospel You don't look back One man's problem On my front step Gas station gospel I ain't prayed yet [Bridge] Sheriff called at dawn Said, "Son, did you see that car?" I said, "Just a black sedan And a bruise where the taillights are" He said, "You better tell the truth" I said, "Truth don't fill a tank" Then I set that duffel on the counter And watched my whole life hang [Chorus] Gas station gospel Hand me the bag Gas station gospel You don't look back One man's problem On my front step Gas station gospel I ain't prayed yet [Outro] When the sun came up The coffee tasted like regret I put the sign to closed But I was open to it yet Gas station gospel Gas station gospel Rolling down the road Gas station gospel And I still don't know
