I’m not gonna wait on my heaven

Not gonna wait til I see the other side

Cuz I already spoke with the devil

Gonna count my blessings while I’m still alive

 

Lately I’ve been hearing people

Speculating bout the things that’s

Gonna be inside their paradise

People who before they knew

Whiskey flowing, flowers bloom

Don’t you know it all sounds kinda nice

But here’s the problem with it all

Sun will rise the rain may fall

Every day it brings us something new

And everything that you imagine

Don’t you know that it can happen

All your dreams exist inside of you

 

I’m not gonna wait on my heaven

Not gonna wait til I see the other side

Cuz I already spoke with the devil

Gonna count my blessings while I’m still alive

 

So what if there’s no afterlife

Hell it sucks and Heaven’s nice

But what if that old story’s not for you

What if you can’t make it there

What if you are born again

Or there’s another version of the truth

Cuz I can see that day to day

Sunrise, sunset I replay

Silver lining’s falling to the ground

Cuz I believe that I can fly

So someone tell me why oh why

Would I wait until there’s nothing else around

 

I’m not gonna wait on my heaven

Not gonna wait til I see the other side

Cuz I already spoke with the devil

Gonna count my blessings while I’m still alive

 

Right now, got a roof o’er my head, got a room for my bed

Right now, got my eyes I can see, got this air that I breathe

Right now, got a friend I can talk to, got a park I can walk to

Right now, got a family who loves me, got a doggie who hugs me

Right now, got a hand I can hold, got this food for my soul

Right now, got a chance I can take, got a difference to make

Right now, got a mind that is open, love to laugh when you’re joking

Right now, got a song I can sing, man, I got everything

 

I’m not gonna wait on my heaven

Not gonna wait til I see the other side

Cuz I already spoke with the devil

Gonna count my blessings while I’m still alive
