jesus shot me in the head

Singer:hiss golden messenger

now i'm bound for nazareth town

with all the mistakes i've made

well god is good

and it's understood

but he moves in mysterious ways

he saw it all

my folderol

my rough and rowdy friends

in fact

i was getting wrecked in a motel 6

when he showed up in the bath

so goodbye sweet genevieve

and goodbye my tulsa friends

well hey everybody

did you hear the news

jesus shot me in the head

just as well

i was going to hell

i wasted everything

no more shooting pool

no getting drunk

i'm gone to see the king

so i'm on the road again

yes

i'm on the road again

no more rolling down that wicked track

i'm going to see the king

but oh lord

i need a hand

oh lord

i need a hand

don't be late at those pearly gates

c'mon

and let me in

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

on the sea of galilee

so i'm on the road again

yes

i'm on the road again

no more rolling down that wicked track

i'm going to see the king

but oh lord

i need a hand

oh lord

i need a hand

don't be late at those pearly gates

c'mon

and let me in

the time will come when the chosen one

he calls on us in thanks

he loves us all

but the ones who fall

hold a special place in his ranks

least i hope this is how it goes

since i'm just 'bout outta breath

so hey everybody

did you hear the news

jesus shot me in the head

so i'm on the road again

yes

i'm on the road again

no more rolling down that wicked track

i'm going to see the king

but oh lord

i need a hand

oh lord

i need a hand

don't be late at those pearly gates

c'mon

and let me in

so i'm on the road again

yes

i'm on the road again

no more rolling down that wicked track

i'm going to see the king

but oh lord

i need a hand

oh lord

i need a hand

don't be late at those pearly gates

c'mon

and let me in
