“Ferrell wrote "Topeka” about a real-life van breakdown and the mental training that helped him through it. “I had been trying to maintain a positive outlook,” he says. “Of all the times we had a mini-catastrophe, I didn’t lose my head over it.”“

[Verse 1]
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night
I taste blood every time I think of summer
If that's true, I'm in for quite a treat
'Cause I'm beggin' for the sun in a mid-Missouri winter
Waitin' desperately to get outta town
No, you can't keep a good man down
[Verse 2]
You've been known to obsess over the future
Do you think you'll get away from the past?
As you stone yourself just to make it through 'til midnight
Consider what you might have found
You think you've got a good thing now
[Refrain]
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
So you know what keeps me hangin' around
No, you can't keep a good man down
[Verse 3]
From here on, you can count on all things going
The way they must've from the start
(All you feel, all you feel)
All you feel is the current flowing through you
And seizing your infected heart
[Refrain]
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Sinner has a future
