Song Lyrics

It was late one night on a Kentucky highway
Up ahead on the horizon
It was there before my eyes
I saw the glowing cross of Jesus Christ

I saw Jesus on the grille
Of a south bound Peterbilt
Catching bugs between his teeth
And glowing for everyone to see

He don't stop at those toll booths
The state troopers let him roll on through
Folks stop and stare at his long flowing hair
And his gold-capped tooth

I saw Jesus on the Grille
Rollin' down the interstate
And I know we won't be late, no, darling
With the potentate of hauling freight

Talking Jesus, riding on the Grille
Talking Jesus blessing every road kill
Talking Jesus giving points for good behavior
I've been redeemed by the 75 mph Savior
Tell it, mommy now

I saw him down at a roadside diner
With a soybean burger and a side of fries
A big old glass of chocolate milk
And a slice of apple pie

I saw Jesus, riding on the grille
I saw Jesus blessing every road kill
I saw Jesus giving points for good behavior
We've been redeemed by the 75 mph Savior
Tell it, baby, now, yeah

I saw Jesus on the grille
Rollin' through the cold Kentucky night
And I know we won't be late, no, darling
He's the potentate of hauling freight
He's the potentate of hauling freight

You know with Jesus we won't be late
Man, where's Moses?

Tom Pirozolli, Willy Porter
