Hiss Golden Messenger - Jesus Shot Me in the Head

The evolution of this song has been fantastic. From a 5 minute acoustic tune on Poor Man to this epic 12 minute rendition. It shows how good songs can evolve over time and how good MC Taylor is as a writer and performer.

Thanks for uploading these. It really helps my craving for a live show right now.

Now I'm bound to Nazareth town With all those mistakes I've made For God is good, and it's understood, but he moves in mysterious ways He solved all fault bond, my rough, and rowdy friends In fact, I was getting wrecked in a Motel 6 when he showed up in the back So goodbye Sweet Genevieve, and goodbye my Tulsa friends But hey, everybody, did you hear the news? Jesus shot me in the head But just as well I was going to hell, I wasted everything No more shooting pool, no more getting drunk Now, I'm going to see the king So I'm on the road again Yes, I'm on the road again No more rolling down that wicked track I'm going to see the king But, oh Lord, I needed him Oh, Lord, I needed him Don't be late at those pearly gates Come on, let me in Spent some time in Jerusalem Where I tried my best to behave And I told the town how they cut him down And he rose up from the grave Would you believe they laughed at me Nor will they will not let me be Next thing I know, I was skipping stones on the Sea of Galilee So I'm on the road again Yes, I'm on the road again No more rolling down that wicked track I'm going to see the king But, oh Lord, I needed him Oh, Lord, I needed him Don't be late at those pearly gates Come on, let me in A time will come when the chosen one He calls on us in thanks He loves us all, but the ones who fall hold a special place in his ranks At least I hope this is how it goes Since I'm just 'bout out of breath So hey everybody, did you hear the news? Jesus shot me in the head So I'm on the road again Yes, I'm on the road again No more rolling down that wicked track I'm going to see the king But, oh Lord, I needed him Oh, Lord, I needed him Don't be late at those pearly gates Come on, let me in So I'm on the road again Yes, I'm on the road again No more rolling down that wicked track I'm gonna see the king But, oh Lord, I needed him Oh, Lord, I needed him Don't be late at those pearly gates Come on, let me in
