If There's a Heaven

[Verse] There’s a dirt road under a Tennessee moon, A lonesome whistle, and a fiddle in tune. I’m walking the line, trying to be a good man, But trouble finds me like it’s part of the plan. [Verse 2] I've got calloused hands and a heart made of gold, Mama’s prayers keep me warm in the cold. By the creek where the willows bend low, I wonder if there's a place I'll go. [Chorus] If there’s a heaven, maybe I'll know, When I face my maker on that golden road. I'm trying to be a good man, but I'm tempted by the bad, Praying for the strength I wish I had. If there's a light when my journey ends, Will it shine on me, will it make amends? If there's a heaven, maybe I’ll know, Hoping for the best where the angels glow. [Verse 3] Down at the bar, they’re pouring out sin, Whiskey kisses like the devil’s grin. I'm fighting the urge, gotta stay strong, But the jukebox plays those lonesome songs. [Verse 4] In the morning light, with a humble head, I ask forgiveness for the words I said. The sunrise brings another chance anew, To walk a straight line, to do what’s true. [Chorus] If there’s a heaven, maybe I'll know, When I face my maker on that golden road. I'm trying to be a good man, but I'm tempted by the bad, Praying for the strength I wish I had. If there's a light when my journey ends, Will it shine on me, will it make amends? If there's a heaven, maybe I’ll know, Hoping for the best where the angels glow.
