Do You Wanna Go to Heaven (Rerecorded)

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, "Do you wanna go to heaven?"

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

It was the hottest night of summer

And our final high school dance was 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, "Do you wanna go to heaven?"

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

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

And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water

But that preacher's words could not be heard when she whispered, "Come on in"

She said, "Do you wanna go to heaven?"

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

She said, "Do you wanna go to heaven?"

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"

Take my hand, can you feel that feelin'?

And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on"
