The Hillbilly Thomists
Heaven or Tennessee
[Chorus]
I want to go home and see my Savior
I want to go far and see my family
I want to hear angels sing in the midnight sunlight
I want to go to heaven or to Tennessee
[Verse 1]
Gonna trade my revolutions for revelations
Trade my electric guitar for wise blood
Trade my Yankee tailor for a Southern trailer
Change my rolling dice of fate for the God of love
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
In Nashville they ask for you to sing
In Memphis they talk about the King
In Knoxville they glorify the Lord
In Dixon Grandma just gets bored
In Kingsport everybody stays for free
In Gatlinburg you pay the fee
In Johnston City everybody just thinks
In Chattanooga everybody just drinks
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
You can make thе angels cry
Make the stars fall from thе sky
Punish the wicked and justify
Send out the vine that purifies
Bring down the grace like a summer rain
Make a heart that's without stain
Speak the word that's left unsaid
Burn the world and raise the dead
[Chorus]
