When it's all over but the shoutin'

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

Yeah a big gold eagle on the hood

Trans Am chariot



Gonna find my 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



[CHORUS]



Good lord Witchita

Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog

Redneck you better out run 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



[RAP]



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



[REPEAT CHORUS TWICE]



When it's all over but the shoutin'...
