I went down to Nazareth town, with all the mistakes I've made; God is good and its understood that he moves in mysterious ways. Borrowed thru my thoughts and all, all my rowdy friends, I was kicking dope in a Motel 6 when he showed up in the back. So goodbye Sweet Genevieve, and all my Portland friends, Hey everybody, have you heard 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, I'm going to see the king. Now I'm on the road again, yes, I'm on the road again. No more slipping down that wicked track, I'm going to see the king. But oh Lord, I needed him, Lord I needed him. Don't be late to the pearly gates, come on, let me in. Spent some time in Jerusalem, and I tried my best to behave. I told the crowd how they cut him down but he rose up from the grave. Would you believe that they laughed at me, they would not let me be. Next thing I know, I was skipping stones, on the Sea of Gallilee. But I'm on the road again, I'm on the road again. No more tripping down that wicked track, I'm going to see the king. Oh Lord, I needed him, Lord I needed him. I won't be late to those pearly gates, come on, let me in. The time has come when the chosen one, he calls us home in thanks. And loves us all but the ones that fall, have a special place in his ranks. Least I hope this is how it goes, cause I'm just bout out of breath. Hey everybody, have you heard the news, Jesus shot me in the head. Now I'm on the road again, I'm on the road again. No more slipping down that wicked track, I'm going to see my king. Oh Lord, I needed him, Lord I needed him. I won't be late to those pearly gates, come on, let me in. Let me in. Come on Come on
