Terry Allen - Gimme a Ride to Heaven Boy lyrics

rate me

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

Chorus:

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 sais "thanks a lot for the lift

I forgive you of your sins

Yeah I just come from Jerusalem

Where things are going bad

Ahhh gimme a ride to heaven boy

I need to talk to my dad"

Chorus

Well I didn't know what to do

So I jammed her down in gear

Kind a kicked my feet beneath the seat

I was trying to hide the beer

Ahhh 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"

Chorus

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抯 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 ... He抯 gonna use your car"

Chorus repeats
