IF YOU WANNA GET TO HEAVEN
(John Dillon / Steve Cash)


Ozark Mountain Daredevils - 1973
Hank Williams Jr. - 1982
Jeff Carson - 1997







As recorded by HANK WILLIAMS JR.:

I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the country on my pickup radio
If you want a drink of water, you've got to get it from a well
If you wanna get to heaven, you gotta raise a little, raise a little hell

I never felt it in my feet, I never felt it in my soul
I've been called country, I've been called rock and roll
If you want to know a secret, you've got to promise not to tell
If you wanna get to heaven, you gotta raise a little, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell

(Instrumental Break)

I never thought it'd be so easy, never thought it'd be this fun
I heard it in the country, now I've got 'em on the run
If you want to see an angel, you better find her where she fell
If you wanna get to heaven, you gotta raise a little, raise a little hell
If you wanna get to heaven, you gotta raise a little, raise a little hell
You gotta raise a little hell
Ooh, if you wanna get to heaven.........FADE
