Tryin' to Get to Heaven |
The air is getting hotter |
There’s a rumbling in the skies |
I’ve been wading through the high muddy water |
With the heat rising in my eyes |
Every day your memory grows dimmer |
It doesn’t haunt me like it did before |
I’ve been walking through the middle of nowhere |
Trying 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 walking that lonesome valley |
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door |
People on the platforms |
Waiting for the trains |
I can hear their hearts a-beatin' |
Like pendulums swinging on chains |
When you think that you lost everything |
You find out you can always lose a little more |
I’m just going down the road feeling bad |
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door |
I’m going 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 riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane |
Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore |
I been all around the world, boys |
Now I’m trying to get to heaven before they close the door |
Gonna sleep down in the parlor |
And relive my dreams |
I’ll close my eyes and I wonder |
If everything is as hollow as it seems |
Some trains don’t pull no gamblers |
No midnight ramblers, like they did before |
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down |
Now I’m trying to get to heaven before they close the door |
