I was feelin' wired
And 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
I knew I had to change
I had to rearrange
Or I would see an early grave
And then a friend of mine
He sat and took the time
He said the Lord could make the save
I called emergency
And He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, whoa, yeah
I called emergency
And He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, whoa, yeah
Heaven's 9-1-1
Just about to drop
I 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 then I heard the voice
With a thunderous noise
It's good that you phoned home
I called emergency
And He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, whoa, yeah
I called emergency
And He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, whoa, yeah
Heaven's 9-1-1
I said, yeah, I said, yeah
Emergency, and He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, oh, yeah!
Heaven's 9-1-1
Emergency, and He answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1, I said, yeah
Emergency, answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1
(Emergency, answered me)
I said, yeah, now
Come on, sing it out, whoo!
Emergency, answered me
Heaven's 9-1-1
I said, yeah
I said, yeah, now
