Heaven
Words & Music by BJ Chambers
They say there’s streets in heaven;
They say they’re paved in gold
They say you’re never sick there,
They say you don’t get old
They say the weather’s fine;
There ain’t no thunderstorms
No chilly winds a’blowin’
And everybody’s warm
I gotta get to heaven, don’t you know and how
I want to go to heaven but I don’t wanna go right now
They say that up in heaven
There ain’t no income tax
Ain’t no heavy labor,
No burdens on our backs
There ain’t no greedy people
Beatin’ down the poor, so
So there ain’t no needy people
Knockin’ at your door
I gotta get to heaven, don’t you know and how
I want to go to heaven but I don’t wanna go right now
Ain’t no wars a’ragin;
No bloody battlefields
And there ain’t no death-row inmates
Waitin’ to be killed
There ain’t no cops a’comin’
To slam you in a cell
And there ain’t no wagon waitin’
To haul you off to hell
I gotta get to heaven, don’t you know and how
I want to go to heaven but I don’t wanna go right now
Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye,
He’s greetin’ all the crowds
Ain’t no sniper aimin’ this time
To try to take him down
They say that Woody’s up there
Jammin’ through the night
Singin’ songs of freedom
The struggle, the fight
I gotta get to heaven, don’t you know and how
I want to go to heaven but I don’t wanna go right now
I gotta get to heaven, don’t you know and how
I want to go to heaven but I don’t wanna go right now
