2.Do You Wanna Go to Heaven

Lyricist:Kenneth Eugene Jones, Claude Putman Jr.

It was the hottest day of August
All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River
I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten
And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that
clear, pure water
And that preacher's words still fill my head and I hear them now
and then

He said, â½Do you wanna go to heaven?'
And I said, 'Yeah, just lead me on'
â½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â
And I said, â½Yeah just lead me onâ

It was the hottest night of summer
And our final high school dance were just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that
clear, pure water
But the preacher's words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou
gave in

She said, â½Do you wanna go to heaven?'
And I said, 'Yeah, just lead me on'
â½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â
And I said, â½Yeah just lead me onâ

It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin' at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize
to win
Now I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that
clear, pure water
But that preacher's words could not be heard
Wen she whispered, come on in

She said, â½Do you wanna go to heaven?'
And I said, 'Yeah, just lead me on'
â½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â
And I said, â½Yeah just lead me onâ

She said, â½Do you wanna go to heaven?'
And I said, 'Yeah, just lead me on'
â½Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?â
And I said, â½Yeah just lead me onâ

She said, â½Do you wanna go to heaven?'
