I was thumbing my way down to Baton Rouge, standing on the side of the road When a car pulled over and a voice cried out, "We'll take you where you want to go" I jumped inside, but to my surprise, they were naked as a poor man's toes It was a tight situation when the whole congregation said the devil was in my clothes
CHORUS Twenty naked Pentecostals in a Pontiac Brothers and sisters shouting in the back Elders in the front, choir in the trunk Twenty naked Pentecostals in a Pontiac
The sermon that morning was on Adam and Eve and the ways of the dreadful snake Everybody was clapping when the preacher pointed at me, my body began to shake I threw off my shirt, and my shoes and my socks, my jeans and my BVDs. We were all in the nude, shouting "Hallelu!" and singing "Somebody Touched Me."
CHORUS
We had the cruise control set to fifty-five when a Smokey got on our tail He pulled up beside, his eyes got wide, and the siren began to wail We ran off the road toward the tree of life, Lord, the future was looking bleak We hung on and prayed, everybody was saved, 'cause we all knew how to turn the other cheek
