God Don't Own a Car (No Wheels) 
From _High Cumberland Jubilee_ and _Before the Beach_ 
By: Jimmy Buffett, Buzz Cason  
1971  
 
(play one verse as intro) 
 
 G               Em 
I have been out wandering  
 G               Em 
I have traveled far  
 G              Em 
One conclusion I have made  
    C         D     G 
Is God don't own a car  
 
He don't wear no fancy clothes  
He'd rather take the bus  
He would pay a tourist fare  
So he could sit with us  
 
He don't have no tamborine  
Guitar or slide trombone  
The music we make here on Earth  
The words they are His own  
 
(one verse instrumental) 
 
And when we finally reach His home  
And walk among the stars  
He'll join our band then we'll understand  
Why God don't own a car  
 
La, la, la, la, la, la, la  
La, la, la, la, la, la  
La, la, la, la, la, la, la  
La, la, la, la, la, la
