Verse 1
G
I had a dream last night I was
cast into Hell by a jealous God
The Devil walked up and said,
"You don't need no lightning rod
C
It hardly ever rains down here,
I can't recall the last storm
G
You ain't gonna need that leather jacket,
it gets kinda warm
D
But there's one way in there's no way out
It looks like you're here to stay
G
The place is a mess, it's overcrowded,
more are coming in everyday"
G
G
Verse 2
G
I said, "Oh man, wait a minute there's
gotta be something wrong
I ain't a bad guy, just write these little songs
C
I always pay my union dues,
I don't stay in the passing lane"
G
And he said, "What about all that
whiskey and the cocaine"
D
I said, "Well, yeah, but that's no
reason to throw me in Hell
G
'Cause I didn't use the cocaine to get high
I just liked the way it smelled"
G
G
Verse 3
G
He said, "Come on over here son,
let me show you around
Over there's where we put the preachers,
I never liked those clowns
C
They're always blaming me
for everything wrong under the sun
G
It ain't that harder to do what's right,
it's just maybe not as much fun
D
Then they walk around thinking
they're better than me and you
G
And then they get caught in a motel room
Doing what they said not to do"
G
G
Verse 4
G
"Now the murderers and the rapists they
go in this fiery lake
As well as most of the politician
and the cops on the take
C
And all the mothers who wait till they get to
K-Mart to spank their kids
G
And instead of showing what to
do what's right
They just hit 'em for what they did
D
And all the daddy's who run off and abandon
their daughters and sons
G
Oh, anybody who hurts a child is
gonna burn until it's done"
G
G
Verse 5
G
"Everybody is down here", I said
"Who's up in Heaven with God and the Son"
Oh, some saints and mystics and
students of metaphysics one O one
C
People who care and share and love and
try to do what's right
G
Beautiful old souls who read a little stories to
their babies every night
D
What you won't find up in Heaven are
Christian Coalition Right Wing Conservatives
G
Country program directors and Nashville
record executives
G
G
Verse 6
G
Now I said, "I've made some mistakes,
but I'm not as bad as those guys
How can God do this to me or can't
He sympathize
C
He said, "You're wrong about God
being cruel and mean
G
Oh, God is the most loving thing
that's never been seen"
D
I said, "Hotshot tell me this which
religion is the truest"
G
He said, "There all about the same
Buddha was not a Christian, but Jesus woulda
made a good buddist"
G
G
Verse 7
G
Well, I thought about my future,
I didn't seem to have much of one
I looked around to leave but there was
no place to run
C
I said, "I don't suppose I could go
back and try living again
G
You know like reincarnation, I hear
that's the way it's always been"
D
"I can't answer that", he said
"You're gonna have to wait for that response
G
But it's not any more unusual to be born
twice than it is to be born once"
G
G
Verse 8
G
Well, it looked like I was gonna be stuck
here as far as I could tell
I thought I might as well suck up,
you know what the hell
C
I said "You know that song that
Charlie Daniels did
G
About how you went down to Georgia
and played fiddle against that kid"
D
He said, "Yeah it broke my heart but
you know what are you gonna do
I said, "To tell you the truth
G
I thought your solo was the better of the two"
G
G
Verse 9
G
Well, then I woke up and I was lying in my bed
I ran upstairs and kissed my little boy
on his sleeping head
C
I took this dream as a sign from God,
so I thought I'd better pray
G
I said, "Don't ever speak to me directly
and thanks anyway"
D
Now so much has changed about me
Besides me just giving up red meat
G
Some get spiritual, 'cause they see the light
And some, 'cause they feel the heat
G
