Sometimes I think about silly things
It's easy to do if you have time
It often happens when I'm falling off to sleep
After a second glass of wine
The clock is usually running out
Down by one or could be tied
I'm fading back, I'm winding up
The championship on the line...

But what if there was a Road to Heaven
That's what came to me today
Would there be traffic jams with diamond lanes
Potholes filled up with rain
Would there be tolls still left to pay
If there was a Road to Heaven
Made of gold and made of clay
Would the angels wave me up the hill
Or in my mirror just fade away

I've never been the kind of man who hits his knees
Got no answers to big questions, Well I don't know
Maybe tomorrow lightening will hit me on the head
And we can find out if we're just a joke
Ah Jesus I'm told can build a bridge
Finer than any other man
There's a certain peace to a country road
With a wheel in your hand

If there's a Road to Heaven
Will there be laws I must obey
If I drove my Mustang 85
Down the street, turned out the lights
Would the stars still light the way
If there's a Road to Heaven
Made of gold, made of clay
Would the angels lead me up hill
Or in my mirror just fade away

Night turns to morning
The old man should be snorning
I gotta get some sleep before I'm awake
Up with the monkeys
I sure love the monkeys
But this job ain't all cookies and cake

Sometimes I think about silly things
It's easy to do, if you got the wine
In the Eagle we're landing
I'm the President or a foreign king
With a harem from Encino to Brunei

But if there was a Road to Heaven
It'd be one long and crazy ride...
If there was a Road to Heaven babe
That's a road I'd like to find
