Dropkick Me Jesus
Bobby Bare · 16 Biggest Hits [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2007]
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life
And over end neither left nor the right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life.
Make me oh make me Lord more than I am
Make a piece in your master game plan
Free from the earthly tempestion below
I've got the will Lord if you've got the toe.
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life
And over end neither left nor the right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life.
Bring on the brothers who've gone on before
And all of the sisters who've knocked at your door
All the departed dear loved ones of mine
And stick 'em up front in the offensive line.
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life
And over end neither left nor the right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life.
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life
And over end neither left nor the right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life...
