Chariot

Oh, when it's all over but the shouting
When God the Father's done His final counting
And I find out that I've made the cut
Boys, I'm gonna get me a chariot
Yeah, a big gold eagle on the hood, trans-am chariot

Gonna find my great-great-great-granddaddy
That peace-pipe-smoking Cherokee (Smoking Cherokee)
Gonna get 'em all schooled in them legs and struts
Then we gonna drag us a chariot
Yeah, a big gold eagle painted on the hood, chariot

Good Lord, Wichita, sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better ride running, damn sure don't wanna get caught
Crime, what crime? We was all hopped up on new wine
And Mama's gonna kill me if I get kicked out of the choir
But you just gotta run them chariots (Chariots, chariots, chariots)

Here's a little story happened long ago
One day Ezekiel went out for a stroll
Walking by the river and lo and behold
Down came four angels in a Cadillac gold
Said, "Swing down sweet chariot, come on and give me a ride"
So they scooped him up, the river was souped-up
And they had Jesus inside
Old Zeke was surprised, but his eyes had seen
Beyond his wildest dreams
He'll go on to see a thousand kings

We'll paint that number eight on the driver's side
That's how old I was when I gave Jesus my life (Jesus my life)
I stepped right up and got washed in the blood
Just a little kid singing 'bout a chariot
Yeah, a big gold eagle painted on the hood, chariot

Good Lord, Wichita, sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better ride running, damn sure don't wanna get caught
Crime, what crime? We was all hopped up on new wine
And Mama's gonna kill us if we get kicked out of the choir
You just gotta run them chariots (Chariots)
Good Lord, Wichita, sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better ride running, damn sure don't wanna get caught
Crime, what crime? We was all hopped up on new wine
And Mama's gonna kill us if we get kicked out of the choir
But you just gotta run them chariots (Chariots, chariots, chariots)

Oh, when it's all over but the shouting (Chariot)
(Chariots, chariots, chariots)
Oh, shouting (Chariots, chariots, chariots)

(Chariots, chariots, chariots)
Chariots
