Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can't love your money
And also love the Lord, I've tried before
And I'll die before I try again
You can't gain fame
And it ever satisfy, I've done and tried
It numbed me right down to my bones
[PreChorus]
It's impossible
It's impossible
[Chorus]
I would rather die a beggar
Than to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
I didn't need 'em anyways
If no one's riding with me
Then I'll travel on my own
I'd rather lose the world before the world
Can gain my soul
[Instrumental]
I've tried to earn His love
But I really dug a hole, the night got cold
A mortal soul can't bear that cross
My hands are red
And I am guilty of a multitude of sins
Without the cover of His blood
[PreChorus]
It's impossible
It's impossible
[Chorus]
I would rather die a beggar
Than to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
I didn't need 'em anyways
If no one's riding with me
Then I'll travel on my own
I'd rather lose the world before the world
Can gain my soul
[Instrumental]
It's impossible
To gain the world and have your soul
I would rather die a beggar
Than to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
I didn't need 'em anyways
If no one's riding with me
Then I'll travel on my own
I'd rather lose the world before the world
Can gain my soul
[Instrumental]
When I die a beggar
And I walk through Heaven's doors
All the evils of this rotting world
Traded for a home
You can go there with me
And you'll never be alone
You gotta lose the world before the world
Can gain your soul
