Engine runnin’ strange need the oil changed
Go see Billy at the fillin’ station
He’ll top up the tank and it won’t break the bank
And he’s always good for makin’ conversation

Diner on the left lady’s name is Tess
Makes the county’s finest apple pie
Summer through to winter breakfast lunch and dinner
Gotta’ have a piece before you die

But if you’re feelin’ lost like you can’t see no way out
Lookin’ for some answers when all you got is doubt
If you’re out on the edge with nothin’ left to lose
I know who to send you to
There’s some things in this world only God can do

When you’re feelin’ low there’s a place just up the road
Keystone Karaoke’s goin’ down
If you can’t sing a lick they won’t mind a bit
Cheapest kind of therapy in town

If you need a little peace to get you through the night
A candle in the darkness to shine a little light
If your heart is broken and you’re feelin’ like a fool
I know who to send you to
There’s some things in this world only God can do

I ain’t tryin’ to say that God won’t find a way
Of showin’ up through someone else
The people that you meet might be His hands and feet
I’m sure he don’t mind the help

Well if you need the grace that’ll quench your thirsty soul
And a cup that will not empty further down the road
If you’re lookin’ for redemption for something tried and true
I know who to send you to
There’s some things in this world only God can do
