Jesus Shot Me in the Head Lyrics
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 back
So goodbye sweet Genevieve and goodbye my Tulsa friends
But 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, now I'm gone to see the king
Chorus:
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone 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, come on let me in
I spent some time in Jerusalem 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
-Chorus-
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone 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, come on let me in
-Interlude-
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
At least I hope this is how it goes, since I'm just about out of breath
So hey everybody did you hear the news, Jesus shot me in the head
-Chorus- 2x
So I'm on the road again, yes I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track, I'm gone 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, come on let me in
