Thomas, B.J. - Do You Wanna Go To Heaven Lyrics






It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized
At the innocent age of ten

And I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head
And I hear them now and then he said

Do you wanna go to heaven
And I said yeah just lead me on
Take my hand can you feel that feeling
And I said yes just lead me on

It was the hottest day of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love
When boys turn into men

And I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But the preacher's words I barely heard
As sweet Bonnie Lou gave in she said

It was a lonely night in August
She was sitting at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and an little time
She would be a prize to win

Now I'll never forget I remember it yet
The taste of that clear pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
When she whispered come on in she said

  32. A.... T....

    It was the hottest day of August
    All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
    I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten
    And I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
    And that preacher? s words still fill my head and I hear them now and then

    He said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
    And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
    ? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
    And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?

    It was the hottest night of summer
    And our final high school dance were just about over
    I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
    And I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
    But the preacher? s words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
    And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
    ? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?

    It was a lonely night in August
    She was sittin? at the end of the bar when I saw her
    And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win
    Now I? ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water
    But that preacher? s words could not be heard
    Wen she whispered, come on in

    She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
    And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
    ? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
    And I said,? Yeah just lead me on? She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
    And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
    ? Take my hand, can you feel that feelin?
    And I said,? Yeah just lead me on?

    She said,? Do you wanna go to heaven?"
