She's a woman on a mission, always in the church
If you need a ride into town, her offer is the first
Yes, she thinks that if she's perfect, she can outrun all the hurt
But that ain't how salvation works
That sepal still needs painting, but they're out there cutting 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 vital entity till 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 sepal still needs painting, but they're out there cutting 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
And I hope that's how
I hope that's how
