Gimme A Ride To Heaven Boy

Well I's all 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 standin' 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 said thanks a lot for the lift 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

Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise...

Well I didn't know what to do so I jammed her down in gear
Kinda kicked my feet beneath the seat I was tryin' 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 bout drinkin' a beer if you share it with the son of God

Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise...

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 sittin' right here inside with you

Then right in the middle of that perfect smile from his robes he pulled a gun
And 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

Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise...
Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy I'll show you paradise...
