lyrics

Glory Land

If you’re going to Glory Land
You can see it, you want it, give me you’re hand
just pull out your fiddle and join the band
We’ll be jamming in ol’ Glory Land

Leave your pain and misery
Give up your worries just let ‘em go
My soul got wet in the morning dew
But Gabriel dried me off when he blew

Take the keys to the highway put in gear
It’s a much better ride than you’re having down here
Some things you should know before you get there
Stock up on stogies and bring your own beer

CHORUS
Oh, oh Glory Land
OH, NO No, No its not what you planned
There’s a lot of people there you just couldn’t stand
Its for forever in Glory Land

Makes no difference what God you’re for
Take a number from the tumbler and wait by the door
They could upgrade the seating, improve the décor
Perhaps you were expecting more

Like an airport Hilton or Holiday Inn
Not any better than some places you’ve been
Nothing to watch on cable TV
Just the Tabernacle Choir singing Nearer My god to thee

There’s a light in the window to show you the way
You can be sure this is not your best day
When St. Peter appears and asks you to pray
You better have a good answer how you were led astray

CHORUS

You may have spent your life tempting fate
But you pray you can change it before its too late
Now its down to the wire, there’s no time to wait
To find the key to the pearly gates

Gonna chatter with the father argue with son
Tell em about the world you just came from
God forgives but some people don’t
It will be a long eternity if you won’t

You’ll see old aunt Shelby and step father Art
Some cousin you shunned and that’s just the start
You should think long and hard before you depart
Can you make some more room in that weary old heart

CHORUS
