Last Chance



today was a crazy day
driving along minding my own business
something happened to the car
before long I was walking the highway
wondering why now? why me?
saw the lights...heard the music
people, there was lot's of people
the bands were loud as all bands are
crazy hair, jumping around, wild stuff.
the message was different though
some guy singing about a last chance
that I meant something to some Jesus guy
have no idea what that's all about
just need my car fixed you know.
some preacher guy tells me I can be free.
No more guilt. Can even have peace.
A whole bunch of people went forward
to accept this Jesus guy into their life.
I could use some peace and about that guilt.
Same guy talking about Jesus...last chance.
