[Verse 1: Brantley Gilbert]
When number three is just a number and Hank is just a name
When trucks don't sound like thunder and nobody prays for rain
When you don't hear "yes, sir," "yes, ma'am," or "Jesus" on FM
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
No, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
[Verse 2: Blake Shelton, Blake Shelton & Brantley Gilbert]
When they pave all the dirt roads and John Deeres are dinosaurs
When the last back forty gets old and young boys don't open doors
When you can't hunt a white tail and keep what you reel in
Well, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert & Blake Shelton]
Oh, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
[Post-Chorus: Brantley Gilbert]
Y'all, let me go now
[Bridge: Brantley Gilbert, Both, Blake Shelton]
If I don't wake up tomorrow to a world that I don't know
Y'all don't cry for this old boy, it's just my time to go
[Chorus: Brantley Gilbert & Blake Shelton]
And I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist
If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then
[Outro: Brantley Gilbert]
Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

We were on a writing retreat in Texas that we do every year, and everybody was out on the porch. I don’t remember who threw a word in here or there and who didn’t, so we ended up with a bunch of writers on ‘Heaven By Then’. And I love songs like that. It came out of a conversation. A guitar ended up...
