Heaven By Then

Brantley Gilbert

Compositor: Brock Berryhill / Hunter Phelps / Jake Mitchell / Michael Hardy / Randy Montana / Brantley Gilbert / Taylor Phillips

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 sold 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

Oh, 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
