No Hurry to Get to Heaven

G
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven, I aint about to go there now-
D
I aint packing my bags and I aint slowin down-
C
that's funny cause heaven is heaven and here I am living in a hole.
G
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven- I'd just as soon go downtown-
D
me I think I'll always like having living folk around-
C
I'm sure I'll get along with the angels but they aint like anyone I know-

I'm in no hurry to get to heaven- in fact I might not ever go.

I'm in no hurry to get to heaven-
and that's the best place there ever was-
must be something wrong with me
but I can always get to eternity tommorrow-
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven- thanks but no thanks
there's bluebirds on the window, there's lillies on the banks
if I had to choose - I'd sit here in sorrow-
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven- in fact I might not ever go.

I'm in no hurry to get to heaven
I hope I'm not need up there.
I prefer to breathe this fresh country air
but if I had to choose I'd even breathe the city smoke.
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven-
there's something troublin 'bout a pearly gate-
if you go tell Saint Peter for me he'll just have to wait-
I'm hanging on here long as I can hold.
I'm in no hurry to get to heaven- in fact I might not ever go.
