Do You Wanna Go To Heaven

(album: Smooth Sailin' - 1980)

It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the paint rock river
I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of 10
Now I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear, pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head
And I hear them now and then

He said, do you wanna go to Heaven?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on

It was the hottest night of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear, pure water
But the preacher's words I barely heard
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in

She said, do you wanna go to Heaven?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on

It was a lonely night in August
She was sitting at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win
Now I'll never forget, I remember it yet
The taste of that clear, pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
When she whispered, come on in

She said, do you wanna go to Heaven?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on

She said, do you wanna go to Heaven?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on
Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on

She said, do you wanna go to Heaven?
And I said, yeah, just lead me on
