Here's #9, another collaboration with Calvin Stewart:http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7371003Jesus MobilePatiently waitin' forThe red light to changeThat's when I seenSomething kinda strangeWindows were tintedCan't see who you areBiblical versesAll over your carI can't see the face behind the wheelBut I catch your drift ‘bout what you feelYou're spreading the word in the Jesus MobileMaximum devotionOr playing a jokeSome even say you've hadToo much to smokeAnd all over townGettin' funny staresBut God's riding shotgunNo need to careChorusI bet the insideIs just like the outKeeping the faith isWhat you're all aboutCool occupationYou work for the lordSilently preachingFrom a V8 fordChorus(Copyright 2009 by Calvin Stewart & Mark Kaufman)

Thanks Walter and Jamie!The lyrics are by a gentleman named Calvin Stewart who posts a lot at the Just Plain Folks songwriting forum. He also did "Alice Was A Glass Eyed Girl". That economy of words is what he's become known for...as well as a very bizarre imagination. I love the stuff he comes up with.Thank you!-mk

This reminds me a bit of "Far Away Eyes," probably the only country song that the Rolling Stones ever wrote/sang. Cool song.
