Capo 2

G C G

Well I was caught up with myself on the highway at night

G A7 D

Drivin like a bat outta hell when I beheld an amazing sight

G C G

It was a lonely apparition by the roadside standing there

G D G

With his thumb out in the wilderness and a halo in his hair

Chorus:

G

He said "Gimme a ride to heaven boy

C G

I'll show you paradise

G

Yeah gimme a ride to heaven boy

D G

My name is Jesus Christ"

So I come screeching to a haltm, 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’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 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’s gonna use your car"

Chorus
