Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, when it's all over but the shoutin'
When God the Father's done his final accounting
And I find out that I've made the cut
Boys, I'm gonna get me a chariot
Yeah, a big gold eagle on the hood
Trans Am chariot
[Verse 2]
Gonna find my great, great, great, grand daddy
That peace pipe are 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, Wichita
Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better out run him
Damn sure don't wanna get caught
[Chorus]
Crime, what crime? I 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
Chariots, chariots, chariots
[Bridge]
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 four angels in a Cadillac Gold
[Bridge]
He said, "Swing down sweet chariot
Come on and give me a ride"
So they scooped 'em up, they rig was souped up
Man, it had TVs inside
[Bridge]
Ol' Zeke was surprised 'cause his eyes had seen
Beyond his wildest dreams
He'd go on to see a thousand things
[Verse 3]
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
A big gold eagle painted on the hood chariot
[Chorus]
Good Lord, Wichita
Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck, you better out run him
Damn sure don't wanna get caught
[Chorus]
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
But you just gotta run them chariots
[Chorus]
Good Lord, Wichita
Sure hope Samson ain't no law dog
Redneck you better out run him
Damn sure don't wanna get caught
[Chorus]
Crime, what crime? I 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
Chariots, chariots, chariots
[Outro]
Oh when it's all over but the shoutin' (Shoutin')
Chariots
Chariots
Chariots
Chariots
