Song Lyrics

"Exit 39"

by John Elefante
Album: Defying Gravity

I started on down the r-oad
Just trying to drive my thoughts
aw-ay
But I couldn't help remembering
Yesterday, and everything in
betw-een
O-oh

It was as real as any image, in a Technicolor dream
Or was it my imagination, playing tricks on me
Was I losing my mind
Or was the truth just catching up to me
I don't kn-ow

Oh what did it matter, I just kept driving anyw-ay
A whole lot of baggage and conditions
And nothing left to s-ay

Just then I noticed a sign
It read renew your soul for Jesus, at Exit 39
I walked through an open d-oor
And I st-arted to listen
And the w-ords cut right through my s-oul
This was m-ore than religion
I saw water changed to w-ine
At Exit 39
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)

I hung around for a while
Just trying to find some explanation, y-eah
And then a woman said to me, don't go searching anymore
Jesus knew that He'd meet you
When you walked through that door tod-ay

Then I looked back at the sign
It said you just gave your life to Jesus, at Exit 39
For the first time I can open my e-yes
And s-ee what I've been missin'
All His love and His forgiveness, was with me all the time
M-ore than just religion
I saw water changed to w-ine
At Exit 39

O-oh
I saw water changed to w-ine
O-oh
Exit 39
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)

I let some time pass me by
I drove up and down that highway
There was no Exit 39
Was it just all in my m-ind
I bel-ieve it wasn't just a vision
'Cause what took place in my heart was by faith and not by sight
M-ore than just religion
I saw water changed to w-ine
At Exit 39
At Exit 39
Oh y-eah
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
I saw water changed to wine
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Y-ea-eah
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Wh-oah
Water changed to wine
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo)
Na, na, na, y-eah
I saw water changed to wine
Y-ea-eah
O-oh
Down at Exit 39
