Lyrics Do You Wanna Go To Heaven - T. G. Sheppard

Do You Wanna Go To Heaven

It was the hottest day of August
All of of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptised
At the innocent age of ten
And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear, pure water
And that preacher’s words still fill my head
And I hear them now and then
He said, «Do you…
(Chorus)
Wanna go to heaven
And I said «Yeah, just lead me on».
«Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?»
And I said, «Yes just lead me on»
It was the hottest day of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love
When boys turn into men
And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet,
The taste of that clear, pure water
But the preacher’s words I barely heard,
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in She said, «Do you…
(Chorus)
It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin' at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and an little time
She would be a prize to win
Now I’ll never forget, I remember it yet,
The taste of that clear, pure water
But that preacher’s words could not be heard,
When she whispered, «Come on in»
She said, «Do you…
(Chorus)
