Some folks say that life is just a veil of tears

Not me man i can't pack enough into these years

I don't care if it's spring summer winter or fall

Make no fuss about the seasons, 'cause i like 'em all



Here on earth i'll have my cake

Gonna eat it too, make no mistake

'cause if it's a question of to be or not to be

I'll put on my boots and go see what i can see



My grandpa, well a good christian life he led

Worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head

He said that when he died he'd get his reward

'cause heaven's a place where you don't pay room & board



When i die, i hope i don't die too slow

But slow or quick, i hope heaven is the place i go

Old st. pete's gonna serve me my pie in the sky

And i'll say "pete, a side of ice cream, if you don't mind."
