Send My Mail

Spent all those years in Sunday school
Learnin' wrong from right
Did all the steps that they laid out
To finally see the light
But when one day came
At the first of May
And they saddled up to ride
I lost all they had taught me
In my newfound Paradise
Short skirts and girls
They ruled my world
It was nothing I could fight
I chased it all with whiskey
All morning, noon, and night
When my time comes
And my race is run
Yeah on that judgement day
I'll stand right at those pearly gates
And this is what I'll say

You can send my mail, straight to hell
'Cause I can't belong in here
Y'all mind the line, and took the time
My friends are all down there
But if you let me in, with all my sin
Here's what I'll provide
An eternity of life like me
To all those that have died

Lord if I can bend your ear
Can you listen here
And please now don't get mad
You got most things right, up in this light
But there's some things ain't that bad
Now you like wine, from time to time
It's something you hold dear
But not much hits the spot
Like bourbon rocks
Or a dozen ice cold beers
You made the tree that spoke to me
When it's lit to fire
And all those women, sent from Heaven Lord
That fill me with desire
Before you go, and mark your roll
At the end of my day
I hope you smiled, and think a while
At all I have to say

You can send my mail, straight to hell
'Cause I can't belong in here
Y'all mind the line, and took the time
My friends are all down there
But if you let me in, with all my sin
Here's what I'll provide
An eternity of life like me
To all those that have died

Idle hands, are the Devil's tools
It's written in the lore
But did the Devil make that over hang
That's got me laying on the floor
It didn't happen once, maybe a bunch
I had more than my fill
But here in the clouds, got steak in pounds
No one's missin' a meal
I loved it all, and I had a ball
Right to my dying day
But just send me down to that burning town
If you can't hear what I say

You can send my mail, straight to hell
'Cause I can't belong in here
Y'all mind the line, and took the time
My friends are all down there
But if you let me in, with all my sin
Here's what I'll provide
An eternity of life like me
To all those that have died
