mae estes - gettin' back up to heaven lyrics
[verse 1]
she grew up on the front pew of the bethel baptist church
her momma led the choir and her daddy preached the word
she got her angel wings the day that she was born
n0body ever thought she’d end up growing h+rns
[verse 2]
well, he blew into town on a dark and dusty wind
she fell like the rain for a kiss as sweet as sin
he set her world on fire ’til it all fell apart
but that devil met his match the day he broke her heart
[chorus]
she’s singing “lord, forgive me for what i’m ’bout to do
it ain’t christian but this one ain’t on you
well, i’ve been sleeping with a well known heathen
and i could sure use your help”
gettin’ back up to heaven when i drop him off in h+ll
[verse 3]
well, it won’t be no gun, it won’t be no blade
but i’m ‘bound to be the one to give him what he gave
i know it ain’t right but after what he did to me
it’s an eye for an eye and i can’t turn the other cheek
[chorus]
singing “lord, forgive me for what i’m ’bout to do
it ain’t christian but this one ain’t on you
well, i’ve been sleeping with a well known heathen
and i could sure use your help”
gettin’ back up to heaven when i drop him off in h+ll
[post+chorus]
ooh+oh
[verse 4]
she stood there like a stone by a jury of her peach
they sentenced her to life, she never cried eighteen
her daddy smiled the day he found the note she left behind
he mighta raised a cold blood k!ller but he raised the praying kind
[chorus]
singing “lord, forgive me for what i’m ’bout to do
it ain’t christian but this one ain’t on you
well, i’ve been sleeping with a well known heathen
and i could sure use your help”
gettin’ back up to heaven when i drop him off in h+ll
gettin’ back up to heaven
