Hayes Carll - Heaven Above Lyrics

Artist: Hayes Carll

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Joshua Hayes Carll

Six pack of something, bottle of pills
Got to be a better way to get my thrills
Lord, you know sometime livin' ain't hardly enough
Not when you're waitin' on a sign from Heaven above

Lyin' round the house, wastin' sleep all day
Everything I wanted keeps slippin' away
What can I do when my time flies like a dove?
Won't come back without a sign from Heaven above

This nine to five work is giving me the blues
Wanna get my picture on the six o'clock news
Oh pretty baby, maybe I ain't got the stuff
But I can't make a move without a sign from Heaven above

I found me a lover, she's six foot three
Everybody says she's better looking than me
What can I say, I guess I'm only lucky in love
Lord, it helps pass time when you're waiting on Heaven above

Bar full of strangers, fifty cent beer
God Almighty, what am I doin' here?
Always end up on the floor when push comes to shove
Can't pick myself up without a sign from Heaven above

But I gotta write it down, make everything right
Goin' to a party on Saturday night
Me, oh my, what on Earth was I thinking of?
Time rolls by when you're waiting on Heaven above
Yeah, life rolls by when you're waiting on Heaven above
