Kenny Chesney - Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven (featuring The Wailers) Lyrics
The Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'
"Son, you better start livin' right
You need to quit the women and whiskey and carrying on all night
Don't you want to hear him call your name when you're standing at the pearly gates?"
I told the Preacher "Yes, I do, but I hope he don't call today" Are you ready?
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but nobody wanna go now
Said, Preacher, maybe you didn't see me throw an extra twenty in the plate
There'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 wants to go to Heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
But nobody wanna go now
Some day I wanna see those streets of gold
Get my halo
But I wouldn't mind waitin' 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 wants to go to Heaven
Hallalujeh! 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
Yeah
