about

Our character is moving through the southeast as we follow his trek through two more states on Tuesday. My challenge this round is to have a continuous story that moves through the course of the week(s). Each week's song will mention the day of the week our character is experiencing.

I need to quit watchin' all these serial killer programs on Netflix, yo.

lyrics

Long lays the road
An interstate to Eden
Us highwaymen help share the load
Helping the lost
To the grace of the beaten
This Plymouth sweet pilgrims disposed

Halfway to Memphis
The sun hung in ashes
The Lord bid me, “find a soul”
Turning southbound
To the columns of Athens
Found her salvation in a hole

Tuesday is gone
And forgiveness abounds
Freeing the lost
From the sin that surrounds
Lord I thank thee
Let these praises resound
Now lay me down to rest

Reading your Word
Sweet leaves of redemption
Moonlight motels and the patter of rain
Morning awaits
And no one’s around
Dreaming of love and thorns in my crown

Tuesday is gone
And forgiveness abounds
Freeing the lost
From the sin that surrounds
Lord I thank thee
Let these praises resound
Now lay me down to rest
