10 Minute Oil Change
Disciple Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pull right this way a little to the left
Leave your keys here and go read a book
I know what you are all about and I am here to clean you out

You don't need to stop before I'm finished
This will only take about ten minutes
One, clear coming down
Two, is lOw-30 okay
Three thank you come again

Are you willing to be free,
You're in the place to be it's time to replace your dirt and grit,
Shut up and let me do it (John 8:36; 1 John 1:9)

Why did you come if you don't get clean your miles are up




Leave it here with me you don't go five miles
And just break down don't move at all and let me go to town
