[Verse 1] Oh Jesus, keep me going down the road But if I run off the road, keep me from becoming an explosion Because your child is riding on the highway And if I hit a deep pothole, only you can keep it from ripping my tire away [Verse 2] But if you let my car explode, will you let my death be quick? If it takes a long, long time, I'll know it's your will for me [Verse 3] And Lord, if you take me into heaven, I don't want to cut the grass And can I stay up past eleven? Here tonight, there are a million wishing stars This is America, where people want barbecue and chocolate bars And if some terrible disease with super expensive treatment comes my way [Verse 4] When I get down on my knees, I know you'll convince the doctors that I'll pay That I'll pay And Lord, if I get to where I'm going, will you tell me what to do? Or am I supposed to show up knowing? [Verse 5] Tonight there are a thousand wishing prayers From quitting smoking and quitting crack, quitting drinking and greasy cheesy heart attack And quitting lying, quitting talking, quitting being bad and being sad [Verse 6] Talking loud, telling it like it is And learning to keep my damn mouth shut sometimes [Verse 7] Lord, when I get to where I'm going, will you tell me what to do? And don't expect me to show up knowing 'Cause I don't know
