<b>Heaven On Time</b> by <i>Cornmeal</i><br />Cornmeal - Heaven On Time

It seems like I've been here before, I've been knockin' on heaven's door

I hope to get to heaven on time

Out in the hills of the Carolina mines,

Out past the lilac where the river runs dry

I've seen the end of my days pass me by,

And I've been out too long and I'm too old to fly

I hope to get to heaven on time

I hope to get to heaven on time. Been down too long on old #9

It seems like I've been here before, I've been knockin' on heaven's door

I hope to get to heaven on time

Spent my days riding coal trains down the rails

I've lived my life by the good book and all it's tales

Worked so hard that there's nothing left to spare

And I've been down too long

And I've seen that white light shine

I hope to get to heaven on time

I hope to get to heaven on time. Been down too long on old #9

It seems like I've been here before, I've been knockin' on heaven's door

I hope to get to heaven on time

Since the day I was born till I'm buried in the ground

I watched that river run them folk from town to town

And I saved my faith ( I sing this song) ‘fore coming hours bring me down

As that river rolls, I still can't see the signs

I hope to get to heaven on time

I hope to get to heaven on time. Been down too long on old #9

It seems like I've been here before, I've been knockin' on heaven's door

I hope to get to heaven on time
