To Heaven Before I Die

I want to get to heaven before I die
so i’m walking down the road, lord i’m feeling high.
Looking for the lady, the apple of my eye,
I want to get to heaven before I die.

I want to hear the angels when they sing.
Sitting on the clouds, plucking those strings.
But in the world of winter, summer, fall, and spring.
I want to hear the angels when they sing.

if you’re waiting on the afterlife, you will wait forever.
there ain’t no good place that we can’t go together
and as good as it could ever be, life here could be better.
if you’re waiting on the afterlife, you will wait forever.

I want to walk with the holy ghost
down the darkest alleys, along the brighter coast.
From gospel sunday mornings to drunken evening toasts,
I want to walk with the holy ghost.
