Well, I was caught up with myself On the highway at night Drivin' like a bat outta hell When I beheld an amazing sight It was a lonely apparition By the roadside, standing there With his thumb out in the wilderness And a halo in his hair He said, "Gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise Yeah, gimme a ride to heaven boy My name is Jesus Christ" So, I come screeching to a halt I said, "Hop on in" He says, "Thanks a lot for the lift I forgive you of your sins" "Yeah, I just come from Jerusalem Where things are going bad Ah, gimme a ride to heaven boy I need to talk to my dad" He said "Gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy My name is Jesus Christ" So I come screeching to a halt I said, "Hop on in" He says, "Thanks a lot for the lift I forgive you of your sins" "Yeah I just come from Jerusalem Where things are going bad Ah, gimme a ride to heaven boy I need to talk to my dad" Well, I didn't know what to do So I jammed her down in gear Kinda kicked my feet beneath the seat I was trying to hide the beer Ah, but he just grinned and said, "My friend I know you must think it's odd But you got nothin' to fear about drinkin' a beer If you share it with the Son of God" He said, "Gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise Yeah, gimme a ride to heaven boy My name is Jesus Christ" So I come screeching to a halt I said, "Hop on in" He says, "Thanks a lot for the lift I forgive you of your sins" "Yeah I just come from Jerusalem Where things are going bad Ah, gimme a ride to heaven boy I need to talk to my dad" Well I saw good news in his baby blues So I stomped it on the floor I said, "You have to show me how to get there I ain't been before" "Well it a hard place to find" he said "But I'll give you a little clue It ain't somewhere up in the air Its sittin' right here inside with you" Then right in the middle of that perfect smile From his robes he pulled a gun An stuck it up beside my head and said "How's this for Kingdom come?" Well I pulled off scared but I heard him say As he left me beneath the stars "The Lord moves in mysterious ways And tonight, my son [unverified] He gonna use your car" He said, "Gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise Yeah, gimme a ride to heaven boy My name is Jesus Christ" So I come screeching to a halt I said, "Hop on in" He says, "Thanks a lot for the lift I forgive you of your sins" "Yeah, I just come from Jerusalem Where things are going bad Ah, gimme a ride to heaven boy I need to talk to my dad" |
