GOIN TO HEAVEN

Got shot down in Buffalo
Pulled her in cut off her clothes
And they filled her up with gypsy blood
She got home said “I ain’t the same,
There something strange in my veins.
I feel my heart is up to nothing good.”
Sure enough she went to stealing cars
She wore a scarf to hide the scars
but, something down inside her would not heal
Started stealing twice as much
Her hands were shaky but she had the touch
Almost got caught down in Vegas in an Oldsmobile

Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
She’s slipping away

Now it’s hard to say what makes a girl
Turn inside this lonely world
Inside out she burned herself a hole
Late at night she sat and stared
With a loaded pistol by her chair
And a world of hurt just laced up in her soul
She didn’t watch no cable show
No TV set, no radio
She made up little movies in her head
She buried all the cash she made somewhere in a shallow grave
She drank to every dollar that was dead

Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
I’m slipping away
Heaven
I’m slipping away

On my way to Heaven anyhow

Night in August things got worse
She went crazy and stole a hearse
The body of a young boy lying there in tow
She pulled it over by the sea
Took the body and set him free
And they both floated into Heaven from the Gulf of Mexico

Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Goin’ To Heaven
Heaven
I’m slipping away
Heaven
I’m slipping away

On my way to Heaven anyhow
On my way to Heaven anyhow
On my way to Heaven anyhow
