Shotgun Angel - Daniel Amos video free download

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 further 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"

Chorus:

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 a'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'

'Bout a mile from town
