Heaven By Then (feat. Vince Gill)

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 whitetail, 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

Y'all, 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
