Oh when it's all over
but the shouting.
When God the Father's
done his final accounting
And I find out
that I made the cut.
Boys I'm gonna get me
a chariot
With a big Gold Eagle
on the hood Trans-Am chariot
Gonna find my
great great
great granddaddy
That peace pipe smokin'
Cherokee
Gonna get him all schooled
in them mags 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 outrun him
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
You just gotta run
them chariots
Now here's a little story
happened long ago
One day Ezekiel went out
for a stroll
Walkin' by the river
low and behold
Down came 4 angels
in a Cadillac gold
He said,
"Swing down, sweet chariot
come on and give me a ride"
So they scooped 'em up
the rig was souped up
man it had TV's inside
Ol' Zeke was surprised
cause his eyes had seen
beyond his wildest dreams
He'd go on to see
a thousand things
We'll paint that number eight
on the driver's side
That's how old I was
when I gave Jesus my life
I stepped right up
and got washed in the blood
Just a little kid
singin' '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 outrun him
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
Good Lord, Wichita
Sure hope Samson
ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better outrun him
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
Ah, when it's all over
but the shouting. . .
