She's a woman on a mission Always in the church If you need a ride into town Her offer is the first Yeah she thinks that if she's perfect She can outrun all the hurt But that ain't how salvation works That steeple still needs paint But they're out there cuttin' grass There's a two line Sunday sermon She'll miss cause she drives too fast And the message on the marquee Reflected in the glass Is every sinner has a future And every saint has a past He's a man with a memory That turned into a curse He keeps every bottle empty Til he's numb down to the nerve He thinks that forgiveness Is reserved for souls like hers But that ain't how salvation works That steeple still needs paint But they're out there cuttin' grass There's a two line Sunday sermon She'll miss cause she drives too fast And the message on the marquee Reflected in the glass Is every sinner has a future And every saint has a past I can't quote the Bible The chapter or the verse And heaven's just a promise For those left here on Earth But I believe that God loves us More than we deserve And I hope that's how Yeah I hope that's how I hope that's how Salvation works Salvation works Oh I hope that's how Yeah I hope that's how
