Song information
Artist: Terry Allen Album: Bloodlines
Lyrics
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? 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? gonna use your car" Chorus repeats
