Do You Want To Go To Heaven

It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized
At the innocent age of ten
I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear, pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head
And I hear them now and then

He said, "Do you wanna go to Heaven?"
I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
I said, "Yeah (I said, yeah), just lead me on"

It was the hottest night of summer
And our final high school dance were just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love
When boys turn into men
I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But the preacher's words, I've barely heard
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in

She said, "Do you wanna go to Heaven?"
I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
I said, "Yeah (I said, yeah), just lead me on"

It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin' at the end of the bar when I saw her
With the little wine and a little time, she'd be a prize to win
I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
When she whispered, "Come on in"

She said, "Do you wanna go to Heaven?"
I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
I said, "Yeah (I said, yeah), just lead me on"

She said, "Do you wanna go to Heaven?"
I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
I said, "Yeah (I said, yeah), just lead me on"

She said, "Do you wanna go to Heaven?"
