Gimme A Ride To Heaven Boy

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 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" [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 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" [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's a hard place to find" he said "But I'll give you a little clue It ain't somewhere up in the air It's 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 H'e's gonna use your car" [Chorus] --- Gimme a Ride to Heaven Boy - Terry Allen and Panhandle Mystery
