Gimme A Ride To Heaven by Terry Allen




                Gimme A Ride To Heaven






INTRO: F  Bb C (2X) 
 
F                                      Bb               F 
I WAS ALL CAUGHT UP WITH MYSELF ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT 
F                                         C 
DRIVIN LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL WHEN I BEHLED AN AMAZING SIGHT 
F                              Bb                 F 
WAS A LONELY APPARITION BY THE ROADSIDE STANDING THERE 
F                                        C           F 
WITH A THUMB OUT IN THE WILDERNESS AND A HALO IN HIS HAIR 
 
Chorus
F 
GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY, 
                   Bb                        F 
AND I'LL SHOW YOU PARADISE 
F 
GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY 
       C                           F 
MY NAME IS JESUS CHRIST
 
WELL, I CAME SCREECHING TO A HALT AND I SAID HOP ON IN 
HE SAID THANKS FOR THE LIFT I FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS 
I'VE JUST COME FROM JERUSALEM WHERE THINGS ARE GOING BAD 
AH, GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY, I NEED TO TALK TO MY DAD 
 
CHORUS 
 
WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO, SO I JAMMED 'ER DOWN IN GEAR 
STARTED KICKING MY FEET BENEATH THE SEAT, I WAS TRYIN TO HIDE THE BEER 
WELL, HE JUST GRINNED AND SAID MY FRIEND, I KNOW YOU MAY THINK IT'S ODD 
BUT YOU GOT NOTHING TO FEAR ABOUT DRINKIN A BEER IF YOU'LL 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'LL 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, IT'S RIGHT HERE INSIDE YOU 

THEN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT PERFECT SMILE, FROM HIS ROBES HE PULLED A GUN 
STUCK IT RIGHT UPSIDE MY HEAD AND SAID HOW'S THIS FOR KINGDOM COME?? 
WELL, I PULLED OFF SCARED AND I HEARD HIM SAY AS HE LEFT ME BENEATH THE STARS 
YOU KNOW THE LORD MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS AND TONIGHT MY SON 
HE'S GONNA USE YOUR CAR 
 
CHORUS
