[Verse 1]
You got every single red flag flyin' high in the wind
And no one can tell me nothin' 'cause here I go again
It's in one ear, out the other, and my friends don't waste their breath
God bless my sweet mother, her heart is breaking in her chest
Maybe I'll see the light when the day breaks at night
[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven and it's paved with stone and sin
I slip and I stumble back into your arms again
Ridin' shotgun in a hand basket, hell of a ride
There's a long come to Jesus waitin' on the other side
[Verse 2]
I could tell that you were trouble, yeah, I knew it all along
I could see it in your blue eyes, just the right amount of wrong
You ain't quite the devil, you're as close as I've been
Water finds its own level, won't you take me for a swim?
In a lake of fire, they don't preach to the choir
[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven and it's paved with stone and sin
I slip and I stumble back into your arms again
Ridin' shotgun in a hand basket, hell of a ride
There's a long come to Jesus waitin' on the other side
[Bridge]
The path to hell is made of good intentions
And it might just take one holy intervention
The way I've been running
The way that I keep running
[Chorus]
It's a long road to heaven and it's paved with stone and sin
I slip and I stumble back into your arms again
Ridin' shotgun in a hand basket, hell of a ride
There's a long come to Jesus waitin' on the other side
