In Heaven There Is No Beer |
Dedicated to the memory of Bill Kralick
Well, they say it will be great
when we see those Pearly Gates
But, brother, have I got news for you
There ain't no beer around
up in Heaven Town
Don't want to but I know that it's true
And that is why I'm sittin' here drinkin' all this beer
I'll drink and drink and drink and drink some more
And that is why I'm sippin' nine, sometimes two at a time
cuz in Heaven there is no beer
Well, even at my age
I've got friends in the grave
and them no stranger to the glass
So each one I put down
is for one in the ground
My friends that are pushin' up grass
And when I get to Heaven with my belly full
I'll do what I can to change the rule
But while I'm on this plane
I'll drink my liquid grain
Until my dieing gasp
Well, Gospel Truth is what I tell
and it sounds to me like Hell
but, brother, it is just that plain
For my friends up in the sky
I have a tear to cry
cuz, brother, I feel their pain
