If You Wanna Get to Heaven Lyrics
I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
but I heard it in the alley
on a weird radio
if you want a drink of water
you got to get it from a well
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell
I never felt it in my feet
I never felt it in my soul
but I heard it the alley
now it's in my rock and roll
if you want to know a secret
you got to promise not to tell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell
I never thought it'd be so easy
I never though it'd be so fun
but I heard it in the alley
now I got it on the run
if you want to see an angel
you got to find it where it fell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell
if you want to get to heaven
if you want to get to heaven....

you got to raise a little hell
if you want to get to heaven
if you want to get to heaven....

I love this song. Great southern rock band and song.
wow and still no comments, 8 months after that last one
Agreed. underrated southern group, but still great song. 'If ya want ta get to heaven, ya gotta raise a little hell.'
