Gettin' Back Up To Heaven

She grew up on the front pew of the Bethel Baptist Church

Her mama led the choir and her daddy preached the word

She got her angel wings the day that she was born

Nobody ever thought she'd end up growing horns

Well, he blew into town on a dark and dusty wind

She fell like the rain for a kiss as sweet as sin

He set her world on fire 'til it all fell apart

But that devil met his match the day he broke her heart

She's singing, "Lord, forgive me for what I'm 'bout to do

It ain't Christian, but this one ain't on you

Well, I've been sleeping with a well-known heathen and I could sure use your help

Gettin' back up to Heaven when I drop him off in Hell"

Well, it won't be no gun, it won't be no blade

But I'm 'bound to be the one to give him what he gave

I know it ain't right, but after what he did to me

It's an eye for an eye and I can't turn the other cheek

Singing, "Lord, forgive me for what I'm 'bout to do

It ain't Christian, but this one ain't on you

Well, I've been sleeping with a well-known heathen and I could sure use your help

Gettin' back up to Heaven when I drop him off in Hell"

Ooh

She stood there like a stone by a jury of her peers

They sentenced her to life, she never cried a tear

Her daddy smiled the day he found the note she left behind

He might've raised a cold blood killer, but he raised the prayin' kind

Singing, "Lord, forgive me for what I'm 'bout to do

It ain't Christian, but this one ain't on you

Well, I've been sleeping with a well-known heathen and I could sure use your help

Gettin' back up to Heaven when I drop him off in Hell"
