Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven

Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'

Son, you better start livin' right

You need to quit the whiskey and the women

And carrying on all night

Said, don't you wanna hear Him call your name

When youre standin' at the pearly gates?

I told the preacher, man, yes I do

But I hope they don't call today

I ain't ready

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

Have a mansion high above the clouds

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

Nobody wanna go now

I said, preacher, maybe you didn't see me

Throw an extra twenty in the plate

That's one for everything I did last night

And one to get me through today

Here's a ten to help you remember

Next time you got the good Lord's ear

Say I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry

I'm havin' fun down here

Don't you know that

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

Get their wings and fly around

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

Someday I wanna see those streets of gold

I'm gettin' my halo

But I wouldn't mind waiting at least

A hundred years or so

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

It beats the other place, there ain't no doubt

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

Hallelujah, let me hear you shout

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

I think I can speak for the crowd

Nobody wanna go now

Hey! (hey, hey)

Oh, man

Yeah man, I know what you're talking, man

Everybody wanna get to Heaven

Not just me, everybody, man

The pearly gate, man

Oh yeah, oh yeah
