Christian Radio from October Moon by John Rasmussen

Well who’d a thought this sinner
This old guzzlin’, grabbin’ me
Would be chosen an example
of the bright new world to be

It wasn’t in a TBird,
a Corvette or a big Straight 8
It was a baby heathen Subaru
that felt the hand of Fate

I bought it from an old friend
it had a few miles left to go
But you know it had a heater and a genuine radio
I was a week in FM heaven
Skipping round that radio dial
But the Good Lord had somethin’ else in mind
And he put me out on trial

Chorus
(My dial is stuck on Christian radio
Hands are getting shaky
and my eyes have lost their glow
Oh you can trust me Jesus
I got no place else to go)

Stuck here on Christian radio
Won’t you tell me Lord
did you really intervene
I’m driving down this highway
my mind’s not what it’s been

Won’t you help me Jesus
Well I can’t stand the strain
One more hallelujah and
I’ll be down the drain

(Chorus)

Well I don’t know but on the radio
they say we’ve all done wrong
That you have to earn God’s graces
if you wanna move along
But you just can’t win with original sin
you wind up on the rack
Throw out your hand to the promised land
There aint no turning back

(Chorus)

Dropkick me Jesus through the goalposts of life
Next time I hear those words I swear I’ll grab a knife
The old lady thinks I’m crazy but I know she’s just slow
She’s stuck like me on Christian radio

(Chorus)
