Lyrics
Now I'm bound to Nazareth town
With all those mistakes I've made
For God is good, and it's understood, but he moves in mysterious ways
He solved all fault bond, 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
But just as well I was going to hell, I wasted everything
No more shooting pool, no more getting drunk
Now, I'm going to see the king
So I'm on the road again
Yes, I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track
I'm going to see the king
But, oh Lord, I needed him
Oh, Lord, I needed him
Don't be late at those pearly gates
Come on, let me in
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
Nor will they will not let me be
Next thing I know, I was skipping stones on the Sea of Galilee
So I'm on the road again
Yes, I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track
I'm going to see the king
But, oh Lord, I needed him
Oh, Lord, I needed him
Don't be late at those pearly gates
Come on, let me in
A 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 'bout out of breath
So hey everybody, did you hear the news?
Jesus shot me in the head
So I'm on the road again
Yes, I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track
I'm going to see the king
But, oh Lord, I needed him
Oh, Lord, I needed him
Don't be late at those pearly gates
Come on, let me in
So I'm on the road again
Yes, I'm on the road again
No more rolling down that wicked track
I'm gonna see the king
But, oh Lord, I needed him
Oh, Lord, I needed him
Don't be late at those pearly gates
Come on, let me in
