[Kenny Chesney, The Wailers - Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven lyrics]

Preacher told me last Sunday morning'
Son, you better start livin' right
You need to quit the women and whiskey
And carrying on all night

Don't you wanna hear him call your name
When you're standing' at the pearly gates
I told the preacher, "Yes I do"
But, I hope they don't call today
I ain't ready

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

Said preacher maybe you didn't see me
Throw an extra twenty in the plate
There's one for everything I did last night
And one to get me through today
Here's a ten to help you remember
Next time you got the good Lord's ear
Say I'm coming' but there ain't no hurry
I'm having' fun down here
Don't you know that

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

Someday I want to see those streets
Of gold in my halo
But, I wouldn't mind waiting at least
A hundred years or so

Everybody wanna go to heaven
It beats the other place there ain't no doubt
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

Everybody wanna go to heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

I think I speak for the crowd
Nobody wanna go now

3, 4 everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants go to heaven
But nobody wants go now

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants go to heaven
But nobody wants go now

Yeah, man, yeah oh, yeah
Thank you guys hey, gimmie some love man
Here ya go thank you buddy, thank you
Thank you so much you the man
Yes, sir yeah
Alright!
Guys, you're offically off the clock
Let's go get a beer
