Guess maybe I lived too fast
Drinking the beer and smoking the grass
At the young age of twenty-eight
I find I'm rapping at the Pearly Gates
Yes, Miss. Yes, Miss. Come on in
We know you well - you've hardly sinned
Real - think of my eternal life
And just once more kiss the love of my life
No, Miss. No, Miss. Lives in another world
He might even end up with some other girl
That's when with full-strength it hit me
I'd be really screwed if you quit me
I'm in heaven waiting
You're down there dating
Running around to paint the town
My hands are tied - I'm not around
I was anticipating a reunion in the sky
But it looks like you might change your mind before you up and die
Sitting here on my cloudy perch
And I watched you meet that dark-haired girl after church
Watched you take her to the honky tonk
And y'all joined at the hip during the slow love song
She raised her eyes to your pearly lips
And I knew right then I was on a sinking ship
I looked around with a tear in my eye
At all the other lonely angels in the sky
And I realized
We're in heaven waiting
Y'all be down there dating
Running around to paint the town
Our hands are tied - we're not around
We were anticipating a big reunion in the sky
But it looks like y'all might change your minds before you up and die
