When I Get to Heaven - Jon Wolfe

I know heavens got a pearly gate someday I’ll be walking through

The streets are made of gold I hear the sun shines down each avenue

On every corner there’s a smiling face, not a soul with a troubled mind

Still I hope there’d be a place up there a guy like me can find

A steel guitar whinin', a lonesome fiddle cryin'

Neon softly shining over in a corner booth

So many nights that jukebox was my only friend

When I get to heaven will I ever hear a country song again

I was so far gone down a one-way track, a lost cause of a misspent youth

But I was born again by the dashboard sound of a three chord song with a ring

of truth

Now I’m not the man in charge I know it’s not my call

But surely you’ve got room enough for one little hole in the wall

With a steel guitar whinin', a lonesome fiddle cryin'

Neon softly shining over in a corner booth

So many nights that jukebox was my only friend

When I get to heaven will I ever hear a country song again

There’s not much here I’m gonna miss

Lord please forgive me if I wish

To take a few things with me when I go

Like a steel guitar whinin', a lonesome fiddle cryin'

Neon softly shining over in a corner booth

So many nights that jukebox was my only friend

When I get to heaven will I ever hear a country song again

When I get to heaven, I hope I hear those country songs again
