_ _ _ _ _ Well, I was all caught up with [D] myself on the highway [A] at night
_ _ Driving like a bat out of hell when [E] I beheld an amazing sight
[A] Was a lonely _ _ apparition by [D] the roadside standing [A] there
_ With thumb out in the wilderness [E] and a halo in [A] his hair
_ He _ _ said, give me a ride to heaven, boy, [D] I'll show you [A] paradise
_ _ Give me a ride to heaven, boy, my [E] name is [A] Jesus Christ _ _ _ _
Well, I come screeching to a [D] halt, I said, hop [A] on
_ He said, thanks a lot for the lift, [E] I forgive you of your sins
_ _ [A] Well, I just come from Jerusalem [D] where things are going [A] _ bad

Give me a ride to heaven, boy, my [E] name is [A] Jesus Christ _ _
_ _ Well, I didn't know what to do, [D] so I jammed her [A] down in gear
I kinda kicked my feet beneath the [E] seat I was trying to hide the [Em] bear
[A] Oh, well, he just grinned and said, my friend, [D] I know you must think [A] it's odd
But you got nothing to fear about drinking a beer [E] if you share with the Son [A] of God _ _

_ _ _ _ _ Well, I saw good news in this baby blue, so [D] I stomped it on [A] the floor
_ I said, you have to show me how to get [E] there, I ain't been before
_ [A] It's a hard place to find, he said, but [D] I'll give you a little [A] clue
_ _ It ain't somewhere up in the air, [E] it's sitting right here [A] inside of you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Then right in the middle of that perfect smile from [D] his robes, I pulled [A] a gun
_ _ Stuck it up _ beside my head, [E] said, how's this for kingdom come?
Well, [A] I pulled off scared, but I heard him say [D] as he left me beneath [A] the stars
Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways, [E] and tonight, my son, _ _ you're gonna use [A] your car _ _ _ _ _
