Shotgun Angel · letra

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 farther 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 speed about 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" Whoa, oh

Verse 3

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"

Outro

All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way All the way He's ridin' with you all the way
