Heaven Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bought an old Malibu from the guy next door Then I did what many have done before Filled the tank up full and took out for Heaven When I first cut out, all I had was my dog But I was told he wouldn't be here for long Gave him a French fry and I asked him Does he know where we're going He just looked out the window And so far no heaven was showing Then a stranger hopped in, the first red light She said, "My name is Love and does that dog bite?" I told her, "No, but would she mind riding shotgun?" Said, "I nеver cared much for love bеhind me or on the run" First hundred miles, the talking was light She said, "Can't get to heaven driving through the night By the way, I never asked your reason for going If I'm heading there with you, I guess I'd better be knowing" [Chorus] And I said, "Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it" [Verse 2] We popped off at a fancy hotel Would've booked a lot cheaper if I'd been looking for Hell Left the dog upstairs and took Love to the hotel bar I guess Love's gonna do what Love's gonna do Love's gonna bring it all over to you And before I knew it, I was surrounded Love introduced me to Faith, said, "Don't be shy" And I met Hope before she left over another guy Was it your old friend Sin who said he's been at this bar before? Love yelled, "Jesus Christ" as Jesus came walking through the door Oh well, Jesus was drunk by the end of our night He said it's hard being him when folks think God's on their side Before I knew it, they had all asked to bum a ride I fell asleep just dreaming of Heaven coming into sight [Chorus] Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, maybe if I see it, then I'll want it [Verse 3] My little dog, he died in the night Left out for Heaven before the sun's first light Oh then we found Death holding out his thumb at the Texaco He said if we were looking for Heaven, then he'd know which way to go Oh and Faith held the map, told me where to turn Can't trust a man where the truth is concerned Right about then, we drove up on two brothers Turns out they were twins, you could hardly tell the one from the other One said his name was Real, the other, Authenticity Spoke with a Southern accent, from the rearview, I could see Real had a little scar at the dip of his jaw [Bridge] Lesson learned that the journey in the night Soul stigmatism trying to get it right With road-rash heat coming from the wheels Won't forget how this long road feels [Chorus] Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, maybe if I see it, then I'll want it [Verse 4] Would've sworn the car was full, but then in came the universe That old Chevy Malibu turned into a hearse Before we hit that mud hole right outside of Heaven's gate The time had come to say goodbye now to all my friends I told 'em all I hoped to see 'em again But Sin wouldn't let me go before I answered his question He said, "It's high time for settling scores It's time to make a confession" Held me up under my chin Asked what I'd learned from him [Chorus] Maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, maybe if I see it, then I'll want it Oh, oh, oh, oh [Outro] Bought an old Malibu from the guy next door Bought that old Malibu from the guy next door I bought that old Malibu from the guy next door Bought an old Malibu from the guy next door Bought an old Malibu from the guy next door Bought an old Malibu from the guy next door
