Well I was all caught up with myself
on the highway late at night
I was 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 boy for the lift
I forgive you of your sins
Well 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’s 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 right upside 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’s gonna use your car"
