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 

Refr?o -------------
         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
