Anders Osborne - Heaven by Seven Lyrics

I RECALL A TIME, MY FRIEND
WHEN NOTHING SEEMED TO HAVE AN END
AND TIME WAS ONLY SOMETHING TO FORGET
THE GRASS WAS SO MUCH GREENER AND
THE SUN ALWAYS SHONE WARMER THEN
NO RAIN WILL EVER ONCE AGAIN FALL SO WET
AND EVERYTHING WAS GIVEN TO US
WE ONLY PAID FOR THE DOWN TOWN BUS
AND I LEND MYSELF A BUCK ONE TIME
SO I COULD THANK MY SELF FOR BEING KIND
OH OOOO
NOW THE WORLD APPEARS TO SHRINK
AT LEAST INSIDE OUR HEADS, I THINK
WE'RE RUNNING BUT WE'RE NEVER GETTING NO WHERE
WE LEARN TO LOVE OUR OWN DISGUISE
BUT NOT TO STOP WHEN THE SOUL CRIES
WE'RE TOO BUSY RUNNING SO WE DON'T CARE
WE ALL WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
I HOPE I MAKE IT THERE BY 7 PM
AND WHEN WE GET TO PARADISE
WE CAN TOAST WITH JESUS CHRIST
OH OOOO
