jesus shot me in the head
Singer:hiss golden messenger
now i'm bound for nazareth town
with all the mistakes i've made
but he moves in mysterious ways
my rough and rowdy friends
i was getting wrecked in a motel 6
when he showed up in the bath
so goodbye sweet genevieve
and goodbye my tulsa friends
jesus shot me in the head
no more rolling down that wicked track
i'm going to see the king
don't be late at those pearly gates
spent some time in jerusaleum
where i tried my best to behave
and i told the town how they cut him down
and he rose up from the grave
would you believe they laughed at me
no they would not leave me be
next thing i know i was skipping stones
no more rolling down that wicked track
i'm going to see the king
don't be late at those pearly gates
the time will come when the chosen one
hold a special place in his ranks
least i hope this is how it goes
since i'm just 'bout outta breath
jesus shot me in the head
no more rolling down that wicked track
i'm going to see the king
don't be late at those pearly gates
no more rolling down that wicked track
i'm going to see the king
don't be late at those pearly gates
