Shotgun Angel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I've been drivin' all night And I know I'm gettin' tired But I haven't got far to go Think I'll push this southbound eighteen wheeler A little further on down the road I've been drivin' like a fool Dodgin' all the truck stops Tryin' hard to make it home I gotta' put the hammer down Drive it in the ground Think I'm goin' crazy just from Drivin' alone [Verse 2] Well, my eyes are gettin' heavy And I ran out of vitamins Six or seven hours ago So I thought I'd try to raise me a northbound jimmy On my C.B. radio I was breakin' for a copy When someone answered back In a voice that was sweet and low He said, "I'm gonna' lay it on you Where the rubber meets the road It's the Lord talkin' to you On your radio [Chorus] It was the voice of Jesus And I heard him say "Got an angel ridin' shotgun And he's ridin' with you all the way" I was flyin' like the wind Breathin' fire like a dragon When my diesel truck left the ground Well, I thought that I was dreamin' But the Lord was talkin' to me Really layin' the gospel down I was prayin' and repentin', laughin' and grinnin' Thought my diesel truck was heaven-bound Then the angel hit the air brakes And slowed my jimmy down Made a three point landin' About a mile from town [Chorus] It was the voice of Jesus And I heard him say "Got an angel ridin' shotgun And he's ridin' with you all the way" [Fade] All the way He's ridin' with you all the way
