Lyrics
V1
Some folks ask for mercy.
They get down on their knees.
Look up in the sky and pray.
For something they don’t need
Some folks wear a smile.
Some folks wear the blues.
If I can get to heaven man,
I’ll be wearing these blue suede shoes.
chorus
Give me a ride sweet Jesus give me a ride
The devil’s catching up, he is right by my side
If I don’t run him off the road, he’ll run me off mine
Give me a ride sweet Jesus, give me a ride.
V2
She took a sip and smiled.
said, boy I think your right.
I’ll follow you to hell and back.
Just take me with you tonight
We can shoot right for the moon
Just hold your hat on tight
If we can make it to the promised land
We’re going to be all right.
chorus
Well, we finally got to heaven.
Drove right Up to that pearly gate.
St. Peter said we been waiting.
Why the hell are you so late.
Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told.
That I must have lost my way
He said get that guitar out tof that coupe Deville and come along this way.
He gave me a ride sweet Jesus gave me a ride.
The devil’s was catching up, he was right there by my side.
If I didn’t run him off the road, he was going to run me right off mine.
Gave me a ride sweet Jesus, gave me a ride.
