3RD ROCK

Snippet

Country singer Joe Diffie said that the best year of his life was the one 

in which he lost his job at a foundry, got divorced, totaled the pickup, 

and was audited by the IRS.  With so little to lose, Diffie left Oklahoma 

for Nashville, where he eventually became the Country Music 

Associations Male vocalist of the year.  “If the foundry hadn’t been 

shut down,” Diffie later admitted, I’d probably still be there today.”

wins: The paradox of innovation. New York: Free Press. pg 6

Scripture

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity 

in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from 

beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

Song

3rd Rock from the Sun Joe Diffie

https://youtu.be/vlAa0IGCXCw

She walks into Smokey's

one hip at a time

Like a broken field runner

slippin' through the lines

He likes the way she looks 

so he calls a little wife

says don't wait up for me, 

I'll be workin late tonight. 

Wife hangs up the phone bursts into tears

calls her sister up and cries get over here.

Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile

boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile. 

Leaves the motor runnin' he'll only be a minute,

his car drives away with teenagers in it.

Driver tells his buddies, got one life to live

they scream into the night, lets get it over with.

Cause and effect, chain of events,

All of the chaos makes perfect sense,

When we're spinnin' round,

Things come undone.

Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun.

The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve

Heads for a semi-truck, jumps the curb

Truck hits a bigboy in the Shoney's parking lot

Flies through the air, takes out the bank clock

Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks

lines go down, town goes dark.

Waitress calls the cops says she saw it all

swears a giant alien has landed at the mall

Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the street,

hate to wake you up but we cant find the chief,

mayor says use your head, if he ain't in his car

he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's bar

Cause and effect, chain of events,

All of the chaos makes perfect sense,

When we're spinnin' round,

Things come undone.

Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun.

Cause and effect, chain of events,

All of the chaos makes perfect sense,

When we're spinnin' round,

Things come undone.

Welcome to the earth, third rock from the sun.

Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

Welcome to Earth third rock from the sun.

Sentence Prayer

Praise be to my Holy Creator

Forgive me of the Spinning Chaos, I have caused

by my sinful choices.

Thanks be to God my Savior Jesus

has atoned for my sins perfectly.

May Your Holy Spirit guide me

into eternity. Amen
