Shotgun Angel

Well, I've been drivin' all night
 And I know I'm gettin' tired
 But I havn'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
 Well, my eyes are gettin' heavy
 And I ran out of vitamins
 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
 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"
 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
