Lyrics:

Now I'm bound for Nazareth town
With all the mistakes I've made
Well God is good, and it's understood
But he moves in mysterious ways

He saw it all, my folderol
My rough and rowdy friends
In fact, I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6
When he showed up in the bath

So goodbye sweet Genevieve
And goodbye my Tulsa friends
Well hey everybody, did you hear 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 gone to see the king

[Chorus]
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 need a hand
Oh Lord, I need a hand
Don't be late at those pearly gates
C'mon, and let me in

Spent some time in Jerusaleum
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
No they would not leave me be
Next thing I know I was skipping stones
On the sea of Galilee

[Chorus]
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 need a hand
Oh Lord, I need a hand
Don't be late at those pearly gates
C'mon, and let me in

The 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 'bout outta breath
So hey everybody, did you hear the news
Jesus shot me in the head

[Chorus x2]
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 need a hand
Oh Lord, I need a hand
Don't be late at those pearly gates
C'mon, and 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 need a hand
Oh Lord, I need a hand
Don't be late at those pearly gates
C'mon, and let me in
