Lyrics
Before He Sends Me To Hell
(c) 2007 Uncle Carl
Today I decided I'm gonna be good
Go to church on Sunday like I know I should
Gonna give up drinkin' and those high-heeled whores
So I can make it to Heaven and meet the Lord
'Cause when I die and get through them gates
And get my chance to meet Him face to face
I'm not gonna scream, I'm not gonna yell
Only crack Him in the jaw before He sends me to Hell
He takes all the good folks, takes 'em by the hair
While the cold-hearted people turn to millionaires
The crooks and creeps laugh and smile
The others bear their crosses mile after mile
But I'll thank Him and praise HIm as part of my scam
Fake my faith for as long as I can
I'll shout Hallelujah and ring them bells
So I can crack Him in the jaw before He sends me to Hell
All that praying, building up a dream
I never made the high school football team
Don't give me no jive 'bout a master plan
Give me something like a frying pan
Gonna put up a fight, not crawl under a shell
And crack Him in the jaw before He sends me to Hell
