Jason Boland & the Stragglers - Time in Hell Lyrics

well i guess that they dont want me
hangin' around no more
im busted in the badlands
i wish i knew what for

it seems like forever
looking back it went so fast
ill thank my mighty maker
when i make it home atlast

chorus:
put me on the red eye flight
and let me find the sun
i'm not the first wont be the last
but all it takes is one
just take me far from this place
where the garden of eden fell
i'm bound to go to heaven
i've done spent my time in hell

when i first got here brother
well i was good to go
had to sit back and watch the paper's trade
like baseball cards as souls
i've done right by my family name
and day and night i toil
i pray that i may see the day
where the blood won't meet the soil

repeat chorus

instrumental

repeat chorus x 2

i'm bound to go to heaven
i've done spent my time in hell
