Lyrics Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll

Heaven Above

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.
