Five For Fighting lyrics - Road To Heaven

album: Two Lights (2006)
genre:

Sometimes I think about silly things 
It's easy to do if you have time 
It often happens when I'm falling off to sleep 
After a second glass of wine 
The clock is usually running out 
Down by one or could be tied 
I'm fading back, I'm winding up 
The championship on the line... 

But what if there was a Road to Heaven 
That's what came to me today 
Would there be traffic jams with diamond lanes 
Potholes filled up with rain 
Would there be tolls still left to pay 
If there was a Road to Heaven 
Made of gold and made of clay 
Would the angels wave me up the hill 
Or in my mirror just fade away 

I've never been the kind of man who hits his knees 
Got no answers to big questions, Well I don't know 
Maybe tomorrow lightening will hit me on the head 
And we can find out if we're just a joke 
Ah Jesus I'm told can build a bridge 
Finer than any other man 
There's a certain peace to a country road 
With a wheel in your hand 

If there's a Road to Heaven 
Will there be laws I must obey 
If I drove my Mustang 85 
Down the street, turned out the lights 
Would the stars still light the way 
If there's a Road to Heaven 
Made of gold, made of clay 
Would the angels lead me up hill 
Or in my mirror just fade away 

Night turns to morning 
The old man should be snorning 
I gotta get some sleep before I'm awake 
Up with the monkeys 
I sure love the monkeys 
But this job ain't all cookies and cake 

Sometimes I think about silly things 
It's easy to do, if you got the wine 
In the Eagle we're landing 
I'm the President or a foreign king 
With a harem from Encino to Brunei 

But if there was a Road to Heaven 
It'd be one long and crazy ride... 
If there was a Road to Heaven babe 
That's a road I'd like to find
