Well I gotta get to heaven Gotta get there like I said Gotta get there by eleven He’s just waiting up ahead Cause I’ll never be forgiven For all I’ve done and said Yeah so I just gotta get to heaven Before the devil knows I’m dead
No I can hear the Devil coming Yeah he’ll be coming like he said No there ain’t no use a running Hope the good lord comes instead Now as I lay here all alone Devil’s making enquiries on the phone yeah So see I just gotta get to heaven yeah Before the devil knows I’m dead
Chorus Yeah I just gotta get to heaven No good dying in my bed Yeah I just gotta get to heaven Devil‘s coming like he said Yeah I just gotta get to heaven Too late for drinking wine And eatin’ leavened bread Yeah I just gotta get to heaven Before the devil knows I’m dead
Now I didn’t get to heaven Didn’t make it like I said No there ain’t no use in running Might as well stay here on my bed As I lay here all alone Devil found me on my own Now I’ll never get to heaven Devil says he’ll take me home
