Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'
Son, you better start livin' right
You need to quit the women and whiskey
And carrying on all night
[Verse 2]
Don't you wanna hear Him call your name
When you're standing at the Pearly Gates
I told the preacher, "Yes, I do"
But I hope they don't call today
I ain't ready
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody wanna to go to Heaven
But nobody wanna go now
[Verse 3]
Said, "Preacher, maybe you didn't see me?"
Throw an extra twenty in the plate
There's one for everything I did last night
And one to get me through today
[Verse 4]
Here's a ten to help you remember
Next time you got the good Lord's ear
Say, I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry
I'm havin' fun down here
Don't you know that
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
But nobody wanna go now
[Bridge]
Someday, I want to see those streaks of gold in my halo
But I wouldn't mind waiting at least a hundred years or so
[Chorus]
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
It beats the other place there ain't no doubt
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
But nobody wanna go now
[Chorus]
Everybody wanna to go to Heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
But nobody wanna go now
I think I speak for the crowd
Nobody wanna go now, yeah
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
But nobody wants to go now
[Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants to go to Heaven
But nobody wants to go now, yeah, yeah
