Heaven By Then lyrics

When number three is just a number and Hank is just a name
When trucks don't sound like thunder and nobody prays for rain
When you don't hear "yes, sir," "yes, ma'am," or "Jesus" on FM
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

No, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

When they pave all the dirt roads and John Deeres are dinosaurs
When the last back forty gets old and young boys don't open doors
When you can't hunt a white tail and keep what you reel in
Well, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

Oh, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

Y'all, let me go now

If I don't wake up tomorrow
To a world that I don't know
Y'all don't cry for this old boy
It's just my time to go

And I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
