Shotgun Angel - Daniel Amos

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

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

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

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

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»

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
