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 |
