When I left Kentucky, there was one thing on my mind
And I knew what you wanted from me, but I never had the time
There was a preacher on the radio and I wondered if he was right
Will I ever make it to heaven when I die?
Will I ever make it to heaven when I die?
And there's one thing I remember when life get's so unkind
Is that a rich boy goes to college and a poor man holds the line
And now they're taking what they want from me, but I'm seeing the divide
And I keep on singing a song that never pays me a dime
And I keep on singing a song that never pays me a dime
But I'm Fixin' it up mama and I'm doin it right
I'm gonna have everything worked out in my due time
I'm Fixin' it up mama and I'm doin it right
I'm gonna have everything worked out in my due time
You used to tell me that a lady never lies
She lays down straight in the bed she's made and she never will ask why
She stands on a mountain and she makes the sacrifice
But there's a doubt in my heart and a gleam in my eye
But I'm Fixin' it up mama and I'm doin it right
I'm gonna have everything worked out in my due time
There's a doubt in my heart and a gleam in my eye
But I'm fixing it up mama and I'm doin it right
