    DC-10.

    by: Richard Smallwood

    Well if a DC-10 fell on your head
    And you're laying on the ground all messy and dead
    Or a mack truck ran over you
    Or you suddenly died in your Sunday pew!
    CHORUS
    Do you know where you're gonna go!
    Do you know where you're gonna go!
    Do you know where you're gonna go!
    It could happen any day It could happen anywhere
    It could happen while you're napping in your easy chair
    It could happen at home It could happen at school
    It could happen while your rappin like a rappin fool
    REPEAT CHORUS
    Your head is hurting and you take a pill
    You truthfully think its Advil
    But what you don't know is your girlfriend lied
    And she just gave you cyanide!
    REPEAT CHORUS
    You better believe there'll be a price
    It was paid in full by Jesus Christ!
    (He died for you)
