God Don't Own a Car 
(No Wheels)

(play one verse as intro)

 G               Em
I have been out wandering 
 G               Em
I have traveled far 
 G              Em
One conclusion I have made 
    C         D     G
Is God don't own a car 

He don't wear no fancy clothes 
He'd rather take the bus 
He would pay a tourist fare 
So He could sit with us 

He don't have no tamborine 
Guitar or slide trombone 
The music we make here on Earth 
The words they are His own 

(one verse instrumental)

And when we finally reach His home 
And walk among the stars 
He'll join our band then we'll understand 
Why God don't own a car 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la 
La, la, la, la, la, la
