Heaven Song

I bought an old Malibu from the guy next door
Then I did, what many have done before
I filled the tank up full, and took out for heaven
When I first cut out, all I had was my dog
But I was told he wouldn't be here for long
Gave him a french fry and I asked him, does he know where we're going?
He just looked out the window, and so far, no heaven was showing
Then a stranger hopped in at the first redlight
She said, my name is Love and does that dog bite?
I told her no but would she mind riding shotgun?
Said I never cared much for Love behind me or on the run
the first hundred miles, the talking was light
She said, you can't get to heaven driving through the night
And by the way I never asked your reason for going
If I'm heading there with you, i guess I better be knowing
And I said
That maybe if I see it
Then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it
Then I'll want it
We hopped off at a fancy hotel
Would of booked a lot cheaper If I'd been looking for hell
I left the dog upstairs and took Love to the hotel bar
I guess Love's gonna do what Love's gonna do
Love's gonna bring it all over to you
Oh and before I knew it
I was surrounded
Love introduced me to Faith
Said don't be shy
Then I met Hope before she waved over another guy
It was her old friend Sin, who said he's been at this bar before
Then Love yelled, Jesus Christ, as Jesus came walking through the door
Oh well Jesus was drunk by the end of our night
He said it's hard being him when folks think god's on their side
Then before I knew it, they all had asked to bum a ride
I fell asleep just dreaming of Heaven coming into sight
And maybe if I see it
Then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
My little dog, he died in the night
He left out for heaven before the sun first light
Oh then we found death holding out his thumb at the Texaco
He said if we were looking for Heaven, then He'd know which way to go
Well Faith held the map, told me where to turn
can't trust a man where the truth is concerned
And right about then we drove up on two brothers
Turns out they were twins
You could hardly tell the one from the other
One said his name was Real, the other Authenticity
Spoke with a southern accent and from the rearview I could see
That Real had a little scar, at the tip of his Jaw
A lesson learned through a journey in the night
A soul astigmatism trying to get it right
With road rash heat coming from the wheels
I wont forget how this long road feels
And maybe if I see it
Then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
You would have sworn the car was full but then in came the Universe
That old Chevy Malibu turned into a hearse
Before we hit that mud hole right outside of Heaven's gate
The time had come to say goodbye now to all my friends
I told them all I hope to see'em again
But sin wouldn't let me go before I answered his question
He said it's high time for settling scores
It's time to make a confession
He held me up under my chin
Asked what I had learned from him
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Maybe if I see it then I'll want it
Oh oh oh
Bought an old malibu from the guy next door
Bought that old malibu from the guy next door
Oh I bought that old malibu from the guy next door
Bought an old malibu from the guy next door
Bought an old malibu from the guy next door
Bought an old malibu from the guy next door"
