Song Lyrics

"Shotgun Angel"

by 77's
Album: Late

Well, I've been driving all night and I know I'm getting 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 driving like a fool, dodging all the truck stops, trying hard to make it home,
I got to put the hammer down, drive it in the ground,
Think I'm going crazy just from driving alone.

Well, my eyes are getting 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 CB radio,
I was breaking 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 talking to you on your radio."

It was the voice of Jesus and I heard him say, "Got an angel riding shotgun, and he's riding with you all the way."

Whoa.

I was flying like the wind, breathing fire like a dragon, when my diesel truck left the ground,
Well, I thought that I was dreaming, but the Lord was talking to me, really laying the gospel down,
I was praying and repenting, laughing and a-grinning, thought my diesel truck was Heaven bound,
Then the angel hit the air brakes and slowed my jimmy down, made a three point landing about a mile from town.

It was the voice of Jesus and I heard him say, "Got an angel riding shotgun, and he's riding with you all the way."

All the way,
He's riding with you all the way,
All the way,
He's riding with you all the way,
All the way,
He's riding with you all the way,
All the way,
He's riding with you all the way,
All the way,
He's riding with you all the way,
(fade)
