Yohanaqua Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 When I get to heaven, I'm gonna shake God's handThank him for more blessings than one man can standThen I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock-n-roll bandCheck into a swell hotel; ain't the afterlife grand? And then I'm gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger aleYeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles longI'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirl'Cause this old man is goin' to town Then as God as my witness, I'm gettin' back into showbusinessI'm gonna open up a nightclub called "The Tree of Forgiveness"And forgive everybody ever done me any harmWell, I might even invite a few choice critics, those syph'litic parasiticsBuy 'em a pint of [?] and smother 'em with my charm 'Cause then I'm gonna get a cocktail: vodka and ginger aleYeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles longI'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirlYeah this old man is goin' to town Yeah when I get to heaven, I'm gonna take that wristwatch off my armWhat are you gonna do with time after you've bought the farm?And them I'm gonna go find my mom and dad, and good old brother DougWell I bet him and cousin Jackie are still cuttin' up a rugI wanna see all my mama's sisters, 'cause that's where all the love startsI miss 'em all like crazy, bless their little heartsAnd I always will remember these words my daddy saidHe said, "Buddy, when you're dead, you're a dead pecker-head"I hope to prove him wrong, that is, when I get to heaven 'Cause I'm gonna have a cocktail: vodka and ginger aleYeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles longI'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the tilt-a-whirlYeah this old man is goin' to townYeah this old man is goin' to town Goodbye ole Pard, we’ll meet again.

Wayward Slim Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 He will be missed. So many songs that just resonate with me while listening to the lyrics. In spite of ourselves is my wife and I's song and one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Stephen Jay Gould, noted paleontologist and agnostic, once wrote that he couldn't think of a better reason for hoping he was wrong about the afterlife, than to be able to spend time conversing with friend Carl Sagan. I say this, because if there is an afterlife, I hope that John and songwriter, collaborator and friend Steve Goodman are sitting down to write and play some more.
