[net.music] Drop Kick Me Jesus

mjc@cmu-cs-cad.ARPA (Monica Cellio) (05/02/85)

I got about 20 requests for copies of this, so I'm posting it.  Thanks much 
to the person who sent it to me (I'm not sure if this person wanted to be 
publicly identified...)

Well, here it is at long last.  The publishing information is:
"Dropkick Me, Jesus" recorded by Bobby Bare on *The Winner and Other Losers*
(C) RCA Records, 1976.

Chorus:
  Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
  End over end, neither left nor to right
  Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
  Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life

Make me, oh, make me, Lord, more than I am
Make me a piece in your master game plan
Free from the earthly tempestion below
I've got the will, Lord, if you've got the toe	

Chorus

Bring on the brothers who've gone on before
And all of the sisters who've knocked on your door
And all the departed dear loved ones of mine
Stick 'em up front in the offensive line

Chorus, chorus

Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
End over end, neither left nor to right

I know "tempestion" makes no sense whatever, but I listened three times, and
that definitely is what he says.  I can only figure it's supposed to be a
cross between tempestuousness and temptation.  Any way, enjoy!
