Sister’s in the jailhouse
And Father is much too kind
Brother say’s “Oh, whatever”
I just say “Oh brother of mine”
I’m gonna live in heaven
Never gonna do nobody wrong
I’m gonna live in heaven
I’m gonna sleep on clouds, and sing no blues
Gospel music is the only one true religion
It’s all so hard to figure
The ways of stranger folks down the road
Grandmother says “Do what Mother used to say,
Ignore everything you’ve ever been told”
I’m gonna live in heaven
Never gonna do nobody wrong
I’m gonna live in heaven
I’m gonna sleep on clouds, and sing no blues
Gospel music is the only one true religion
We’ll be standing tall in those long white robes
Make no mistake about the gospel soul
You sure got the beautiful country
But the way you’re living ain’t nothing but a crime
You know we sure make some awful choices
And brother, you ain’t no brother of mine
I’m gonna live in heaven
Never gonna do nobody wrong
I’m gonna live in heaven
I’m gonna sleep on clouds, and sing no blues
Gospel music is the only one true religion
