Well I met Jesus in a bar ditch
Behind the wheel of my '87 Ford
And I met the devil at the bottom of a bottle
And it scared my ass straight to the Lord
(X2)
I did not see no burning bush
Just a Hayes County road sign
When I turned my head to look,
I could not keep it between the lines
But I met Jesus in a bar ditch
Behind the wheel of my' 87 ford
I met the devil at the bottom of a bottle
And it scared my ass straight to the Lord
I'd spent most all night hanging out with my so-called friends
But now I'm indisposed
And I'm hitchhiking down this road
Praying "Lord, I ain't ever gonna do that again"
Well I met Jesus in a bar ditch
Behind the wheel of my '87 Ford
I met the devil at the bottom of a bottle
And it scared my ass straight to the Lord
(X3)
Yes, he scared my ass straight to the Lord
I said he scared my ass straight to the Lord.
