Shotgun Angel

Intro: F C G

Am
Well, I've been drivin' all night
And I know I'm gettin' tired
      C                  G
But I haven't got far to go
           Am
Think I'll push this southbound eighteen wheeler
         C                   G     
A little farther on down the road
          Am
I've been drivin' like a fool,
                            C                      G
Dodgin' all the truck stops tryin' hard to make it home
         G
I gotta' put the hammer down 
Drive it in the ground
Think I'm goin' crazy just from drivin' alone
Am       C  G
Oooooooooo

         Am
Well, my eyes are gettin' heavy
And I ran out of vitamins
C                  G
Six or seven hours ago
     Am
So I thought I'd try to raise me a northbound jimmy
      C        G
On my C.B. radio
      Am
I was breakin' for a copy 
When someone answered back 
     C                        G
In a voice that was sweet and low
              G
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

D
It was the voice of Jesus
Em
And I heard him say,
A    
"Got an angel ridin' shotgun
         C                       Bm
And he's ridin' with you all the way"

Am  C G

      Am
I was flyin' like the wind 
Breathin' fire like a dragon 
        C                     G
When my diesel truck left the ground
        Am
Well, I thought that I was dreamin' 
But the Lord was talkin' to me
       C                 G
Really layin' the gospel down
      Am
I was prayin' and repentin', laughin' and grinnin'
           C                       G
Thought my diesel truck was heaven bound
         G
Then the angel hit the air brakes
And slowed my jimmy down
Made a three point landin'about a mile from town

D
It was the voice of Jesus
Em
And I heard him say,
A    
"Got an angel ridin' shotgun
         C                       Bm
And he's ridin' with you all the way"

Outro:  Am   C G  repeat
