Exit 39
by John Elefante

Album: Defying Gravity

I started on down the road
Just trying to drive my thoughts away
But I couldn't help remembering
Yesterday, and everything in between
Ooh

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 know

Oh what did it matter, I just kept driving anyway
A whole lot of baggage and conditions
And nothing left to say

Just then I noticed a sign
It read renew your soul for Jesus, at Exit 39
I walked through an open door
And I started to listen
And the words cut right through my soul
This was more than religion
I saw water changed to wine
At Exit 39
(Oooooo oooooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Oooooo oooooo)

I hung around for a while
Just trying to find some explanation, yeah
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 today

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 eyes
And see what I've been missin'
All His love and His forgiveness, was with me all the time
More than just religion
I saw water changed to wine
At Exit 39

Ooh
I saw water changed to wine
Ooh
Exit 39
(Oooooo oooooo)

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 mind
I believe it wasn't just a vision
'Cause what took place in my heart was by faith and not by sight
More than just religion
I saw water changed to wine
At Exit 39
At Exit 39
Oh yeah
(Oooooo oooooo)
I saw water changed to wine
(Oooooo oooooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Oooooo oooooo)
Yeaeah
(Oooooo oooooo)
Whoah
Water changed to wine
(Oooooo oooooo)
Down at Exit 39
(Oooooo oooooo)
Na, na, na, yeah
I saw water changed to wine
Yeaeah
Ooh
Down at Exit 39
