Now I'm bound to Nazareth town, with all those mistakes I've made;
God is good and its understood that he moves in mysterious ways.
He solved all ..., my rough and rowdy friends,
In fact, I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6 when he showed up in the van.
So goodbye Sweet Genevieve, and goodbye my Tulsa friends,
But hey, everybody, did you hear the news? Jesus shot me in the head.
Just as well I was going to can, I wasted everything.
No more shooting pool, no more getting drunk, I was 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.
I told the town how they cut him down and he rose up from the grave.
Would you believe they laughed at me, the would not let me be.
Next thing I know, I was skipping stones, on the Sea of Gallilee.
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.
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.
Least I hope this is how it goes, since I'm just about 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 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.
