Someday my time to die will come
When that will be, I don't know
I only know that when I have to go.

Ooh yeah, when I go, I wanna go
Just let me go yeah, when I go
I want to go Lord, let me go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go.

I wannn rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize.

Just let me go, I want to go
When my time comes for me to go
I want to go like Elijah when I go.

I don't want no tombstone above my head
And I don't want no pinebox for my bed
And I don't want anyone to say I'm dead.

Oohooh, when I go, I wanna go
Just let me go, when I go
I want to go Lord, let me go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go.

I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize.

Just let me go, I want to go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go.

I don't want no one cryin' or feelin' sad
Or standin' in the rain without their hat
I wanna go up happy, imagine that.

Ooh yeah, Lord when I go, Just let me go
I want to go, yeah, when I go, just let me go
Lord when I go, I want to go like Elijah when I go.

I wanna rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize.

Just let me go, I want to go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go
I wanna go like Elijah when I go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go.
