Riding down a country road
on a dark and lonely night,
he just had to go
so he wouldn't fight with his wife.
The fog was so thick he couldn't see.
It almost costed him his life...
But God was riding shotgun
watching over him that night.
When the semi truck hit him
all he saw was light.
Cause god was riding shotgun that night.
Three o'clock in the morning
she knew there was something wrong.
Then the police came with a warning
"Your husband wrecked...he might not live long."
She cried all the way there
praying that he wouldn't be gone.
And God was riding shotgun
with her all the way.
Even as she wondered
just how much he'd take.
Still all she could do was pray...
as God was riding shotgun today
When they saw each other again
after that long frightening night
she cried and ran to him,
and they held each other tight...
I'm glad God was riding shotgun
because no one died that night.
It's nice to know when we're with him
everything's alright
when God is riding shotgun...tonight.
