I was feelin' wired I was downright tired When I was only seventeen I thought this whole world Was made of cars and girls I was a victim of that scene Knew I had to change Had to rearrange Or I would see an early grave Then a friend of mine Sat and took the time He said the Lord could make the save I called Emergency And He answered me On Heaven's 9*1*1 Just about to drop Knew I had to stop When I got down on my knees Like a lightning bolt A two-twenty jolt I could feel the electricity And at once I knew That my call gone through I didn't even use the phone And ther I heard the voice With a thunderous noice Say it's good that you phoned home I called Emergency And He answered me On Heaven's 9*1*1
