Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You tell me there are streets of gold
And angels in the air
And while all that's fine and dandy
And I'm sure it's nice up there
[Verse 2]
There's just one thing that I need to know
Before I settle down
Can I take my hounds to Heaven?
Can I hunt on God's ground?
[Verse 3]
Now you say if I quit drinking
And try to toe the line
I can make it up to Glory
At the end of my life
[Verse 4]
And while whiskeys hard to throw away
It's somethin' I'd try to do
If I could spend forever
Runnin' hounds and treein' coons
[Verse 5]
But if I can't take my hounds to Heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
I'd rather load my dog box up
And go to Hell with all my friends
[Verse 6]
I will wake up in the mornin'
And I will follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to Heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
[Verse 7]
Now you say if I quit smokin'
And my rough and rowdy ways
We can hold hands forever
On streets of gold someday
[Verse 8]
But the only way I could stand it now
And I hate to say it's true
Is when you give me a hard time
I can do what I want to do
[Verse 9]
But if I can't take my hounds to Heaven
If I can't hunt on God's land
I'd rather load my dog box up
And go to Hell with all my friends
[Verse 10]
I will wake up in the mornin'
And I will follow you to town
If I can take my hounds to Heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
[Verse 11]
If I can take my hounds to Heaven
If I can hunt on God's ground
