Salvation Works
Jennifer Nettles

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 paintin', 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

Keeps every bottle empty until he's numbed down to the nerve

He thinks that forgiveness is reserved for soles like hers

But that ain't how salvation works

That steeple still needs paintin', 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
