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
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
