Airline To Heaven Lyrics
There's an airline plane
Flies to heaven everyday
Past the pearly gates
If you want to ride this train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it is too late
If the world looks wrong
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned away
You can get away to heaven
On this aeroplane
Just bow your head and pray
Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take this airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
Well a lot of people guess
Some say no and some say yes
Will it take some and leave some behind?
But you will surely know
When to the airport go
To leave this world behind
Oh a lot of speakers speak
A lot of preachers preach
When you lay their salary on the line
You can hold your head and pray
It's the only earthly way
You can fly to heaven on time
Fly to heaven on time
Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
Your ticket you obtain
On this heavenly airline plane
You leave your sins behind
You've got to take this flight
It may be daytime, might be night
But you can't see your way if you're blind
Them's got ears, let them hear
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take that airline plane
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
Flies to heaven everyday
Past the pearly gates
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it is too late
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned away
On this aeroplane
Just bow your head and pray
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
Some say no and some say yes
Will it take some and leave some behind?
When to the airport go
To leave this world behind
A lot of preachers preach
When you lay their salary on the line
It's the only earthly way
You can fly to heaven on time
Fly to heaven on time
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies
On this heavenly airline plane
You leave your sins behind
It may be daytime, might be night
But you can't see your way if you're blind
Them's got eyes, let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
It'll take you home again
To your home behind the skies

Well after listening to Mr. J. Tweedy sing this song I hope I don’t miss my last flight...I'm so hooked on this guys songs, damn!
One of my favorite songs. Recently, I've been thinking it's about the catholic church and how fucked up it is. Like that one priest who raped the 200 deaf boys. I think he needed an airline to heaven.
"Them's got ears, let them hear them's that don't get raped in the rear"
I think it is really sad. The catholic church spent something like 540 or 740 million dollars to cover it up. Stop supporting the catholic church. This is just my opinion. The gay manifesto said the other money the church rakes in (aside from the $ to hide all of the scandals) just goes to those "fancy hats". I agree.
Gotta love Tweedy.
CatHadMyTongue- That doesn't even have anything to do with the song. I'm confused?

@CatHadMyTongue I got you, man, I know where you’re coming from.

Sometimes ya just gotta go where your mind goes, like Psychedelic Furs once said.

These are Woody Guthrie lyrics, not Tweedy's.
Just saying.
