Tryin' to Get to Heaven |
| The air is gettin' hotter, there’s a rumblin' in the skies. |
| I’ve been wadin' through the high muddy waters, |
| But the heat riseth in my eyes. |
| Everyday your memory goes dimmer, |
| It doesn’t haunt me like it did before. |
| I’ve been walkin' through the middle of nowhere, |
| Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door. |
| When I was in Missouri, they would not let me be. |
| I had to leave there in a hurry, I only saw what they let me see. |
| You broke a heart that loved you, |
| Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore. |
| I’ve been walkin' that lonesome valley, |
| Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door. |
| People on the platforms, waitin' for the trains. |
| I can hear their hearts a-beatin', like pendulum swingin' on chains. |
| When you think that you’ve lost everything, |
| You find out you can always lose a little more. |
| I’m just going down the road feelin' bad, |
| Tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door. |
| I’m goin' down the river, down to New Orleans. |
| They tell me everything is gonna be all right, |
| But I don’t know what all right even means. |
| I was ridin' in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane, |
| Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore. |
| I’ve been all around the world boys, |
| I’m tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door. |
| Gotta sleep down in the parlor, and relive my dreams. |
| I close my eyes and I wonder, if everything is as hollow as it seems. |
| Some trains don’t pull no gamblers, |
| No midnight/midlife? |
| ramblers like they did before. |
| I’ve been to Sugartown, I shook the sugar down, |
| Now I’m tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door. |
