PRAYER OF A DESPERATE MOTORIST

 

Lord, I’m aware I’m not a virgin

And I’ve smoked a little too much dope

Downed more than my share of alcohol

And I’ve even been accused of coke

 

And I know I shouldn’t have the nerve

To pray at all

But I promise lord, I’m gonna come clean

If you’ll help me get my car back home again

Before it runs out of gasoline

 

I’m no slob, got a steady job

But my paycheck’s a little bit late

Said it’d be in the mail

When? They really can’t tell

But I’m a little too broke to wait

 

I’ll be rich some day

If I have my way

But for now I can’t live on dreams

Just a nickel or a dime

Would do the trick just fine

Just a dollars worth of gasoline

 

It’s not too far to the local bar

But ya know, Lord

I wouldn’t go in

I’ve changed, ya know

Since my tanks so low

And I swear I’ll never sin again

 

And the lady this morning

At the Hess Mart place

I’m sorry if I treated her mean

Everything I stole

Just consider it sold

If you’ll send me down some gasoline

 

Now the pointer on my meter

Is way past the E

And I still have miles to go

If you’ll get me through

I’ll be so grateful to you

I’ll even preach on a Jesus show

I’ll fight for censure rights

And get real uptight

Every time they think a movie’s obscene

Throw my playgirls away

Just say me SOME WAY

From running out of gasoline!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Most of these jobs I did, while traveling around writing lyrics about different jobs and lifestyles; however, some of them I only knew other people involved who told me about them, and what they were like.

[spence]

I found this very witty and refreshing. It was liked something from a musical in many ways- I couldn't help, but picture one of the pink girls sat in their car, post grease, and singing something like this. The confessions were well done- only half admitting certain things is a trait that I relate to. I've been an atheist most of my life, but in moments of weakness I've asked the Lord for assistance along with confessions and concessions if he did so, cheers, spence
