Gas Station Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
The Wurlitzer is humming low
Watching all the shadows go
Rain is streaking down the glass
Watching every ghost just pass
Left the key upon the shelf
Found a piece of my old self
I threw the heavy suitcase in
Let the real life now begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Years of silence in the hall
Now I’m breaking down the wall
Crumpled letters on the floor
I don't need them anymore
[Chorus]
Oh, let the rain wash the dust away
I’m driving toward a brand new day
With my suitcase and my pride
Nowhere left for me to hide
It’s a long road but I’m free
Finally becoming me
[Post-Chorus]
Let it rain (let it rain)
I’m not feeling any pain
I am finally home
Out here on my own
[Verse]
The neon signs are blurred in red
Leaving every word we said
The gas station air is crisp and cold
Stories that my mother told
In the diary from when I was ten
I’m finding how to breathe again
My ink is bleeding on the page
Breaking out of this golden cage
[Chorus]
Oh, let the rain wash the dust away
I’m driving toward a brand new day
With my suitcase and my pride
Nowhere left for me to hide
It’s a long road but I’m free
Finally becoming me
[Breakdown]
(Brass section swells)
(Rhythmic handclaps)
(Deep melodic bass groove)
[Bridge]
I was drowning in the deep
Promises I couldn’t keep
But the engine starts to roar
I am walking through the door
Of a life I haven’t known
Standing tall and all alone
Yeah, the brass is screaming loud
I’m rising from the cloud
[Hook]
I’m gone, baby, I’m gone
I’m moving with the dawn
I’m gone, baby, I’m gone
Right where I belong
[Chorus]
Oh, let the rain wash the dust away
I’m driving toward a brand new day
With my suitcase and my pride
Nowhere left for me to hide
It’s a long road but I’m free
Finally becoming me
[Post-Chorus]
Let it rain (let it rain)
I’m not feeling any pain
I am finally home
Out here on my own
[Outro]
