Before I Get To Heaven

Before I get to heaven I better feed the dog
Pay my parking tickets off and probably call my mom
Might go sign my name up for them black belt Kung Fu lessons
Yeah I’ve got some plans before I get to heaven

Before I get to heaven I’m gon’ ask out Mary Sue
Take her to the drive in man I hope she says I do
Ride that Harley coast to coast see what I’ve been missin’
Yeah I’ve got some plans before I get to heaven

Every now and then I get a little bit worried life will pass me by
Fear of missing out keeps me in doubt sometimes
So I’m slowin’ things down to the here and now ain’t no place like the present
Take the long way ‘round before I get to heaven

Before I get to heaven think I’ll fix up this old house
Pressure wash the driveway and clean those gutters out
Pierce both ears get a few tattoos to keep them neighbors guessing
Yeah I’ve got some plans before I get to heaven

I don’t wanna’ end up at the pearly gates with a truckload of regrets
Been a long weird ride but I ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Take the long way ‘round and the road outta’ town
Set a few things right have some fun tonight
Make the best of life before I get to heaven
