VERSE:
Walking Matt took a walk one day til he hit the edge of town
Then he just kept on walking, no he never turned around
Got picked up by a trucker carting stereos and sin
Then met a fallen angel kicking smokes and heroin.

CHORUS
But everywhere he turned he found redemption
In those places most good Christians feared to look
Where bad luck, sin, and choices meet rejection
And life it never lets you off the hook

And step by step he's walking, crossing both sides of the track
Finding Jesus, on the road to hell and back.

VERSE:
He ambled cross the Rockies, slept near corn fields on the plains
Talked with addicts, bums, and drifters. Shared their food, their drink, their pain
They opened  up with stories, yeah they opened their homes and hearts
Tales of heartache & lost glory, of crash landings and false starts


VERSE:
He's been lost a time or two and found perspective there
He says, "when you think you've found your way, your more lost than you know
And figures God, He's got a special place for the those misfits on the road
Those who can freely offer handouts 'cuz they've got nothing left to hold

Bridge:
And he found more warmth in the Alaskan chill, than you find inside the pews
Of the climate controlled churches, tarnished with their soulless truths
