"Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven"

As some of you know, I happen to be a huge country music fan, and when I say huge, I really do mean it. Anyway, as I was sitting in my living room watching the C.M.T. awards, Kenny Chesney comes on and sings his song, "Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven." I think that this song happens to be so true. There are so many of us who want to go to heaven, but not until they have their "fun" first. It's interesting to watch these people who think that as long as they say they believe in God then they are going to be "saved" no matter what. I am not really a judging person, but to me, it's common sense that if you don't try everyday to follow God, then how can you be so sure you're gonna make it up into heaven. I mean it takes work to get there, and playing around thinking you have all the time in the world doesn't cut it. You never know when your time is up, so I think you should try now to do God's will for you rather then to put it off. So that was my thinking process as I sat listening to this song. The lyrics are below if you're at all interested.

The Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'
"Son, you better start livin' right.
You need to quit the women and whiskey and carrying on all night.
Don't you want to hear him call your name when you're standing at the pearly gates?"
I told the Preacher "Yes, I do, but I hope he don't call today." Are you ready?

Everybody wants to go to Heaven.
Have a mansion high above the clouds.
Everybody wanna go to Heaven, but nobody wanna go now.

Said, Preacher, maybe you didn't see me throw an extra twenty in the plate.
There's one for everything I did last night,
and one to get me through today.
Here's a ten to help you remember, next time you got the good Lord's ear.
Say-
I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry
I'm havin' fun down here. Don't you know that-

Everybody wants to go to Heaven.
Get their wings and fly around.
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
but nobody wanna go now.

Some day I wanna see those streets of gold.
Get my halo.
But I wouldn't mind waitin' at least a hundred years or so.

Everybody wanna go to Heaven
It beats the other place
there ain't no doubt.
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
but nobody wanna go now.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven.
Hallalujeh! Let me hear you shout.
Everybody wanna go to Heaven
but nobody wanna go now.

I think I can speak for the crowd.
Nobody wanna go now.
Yeah.
