I was a runnin' from my Master And I tried out every new thing I could find But my life turned into one disaster Without the Lord I almost blew my mind
I was sittin' in the front seat Tryin' really hard to be the driver Thinkin' I was makin' real good time But always windin' up the late arriver But now I been tryin' out the back seat And I find it is a very great relief Now I'm ridin' in the back seat And I'm leavin' all the drivin' to the Chief
I went barrelin' out full speed ahead I went a runnin' every stop sign that I'd see Thinkin' I'd give the Lord a shortcut But I found out He don't need no help from me
