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



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"



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"



Well, I didn't know what to do

So I jammed her down in gear

Kinda 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"



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"



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 [unverified] He gonna use your car"



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"
