You’ll Never Get to Heaven

[Verse 1]
You'll never get to heaven if you don't stop talking
And it's just a waste of time when there's no one there
It's just a little fever, don't you worry
It'll keep you warm in the cool night air

[Verse 2]
You'll never get to heaven if that dog keeps howling
And it's not at a man or a cat or the moon
Save your breath and just keep walking
The sun'll be rising sometime soon

[Bridge]
All your friends are down or long gone out of town
You were the only one crazy enough to stay
Except for maybe me and that howling dog makes three
What you wanna go to heaven for anyway?

[Verse 3]
You'll never get to heaven if you don't stop drinking
And it's a little too late to make that list
This time of night nobody's laughing
And it gets so quiet you can hear a kiss

[Bridge]
All your friends are down or long gone out of town
You were the only one crazy enough to stay
Except for maybe me and that howling dog makes three
What you wanna go to heaven for anyway?

[Verse 4]
You'll never get to heaven 'til the season's over
And nothing but the husk and the hull remain
When that fever breaks, you will get colder
'Til you're the same temperature as the rain
