Gimme A Ride To Heaven Boy 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
