[Verse 1: Kenny Chesney]
Preacher told me last Sunday morning'
Son, you better start livin' right
You need to quit the women and whiskey
And carrying on all night

[Verse 2]
Don't you wanna hear him call your name
When you're standing' at the pearly gates
I told the preacher, "Yes I do"
But I hope they don't call today
I ain't ready

[Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

[Verse 3]
Said preacher maybe you didn't see me
Throw an extra twenty in the plate
There's one for everything I did last night
And one to get me through today
Here's a ten to help you remember
Next time you got the good Lord's ear
Say I'm coming' but there ain't no hurry
I'm having' fun down here
Don't you know that

[Chorus 2]
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

[Bridge]
Someday I want to see those streets of gold in my halo
But I wouldn't mind waiting at least a hundred years or so

[Chorus 3]
Everybody wanna go to heaven
It beats the other place there ain't no doubt
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

[Chorus 4]
Everybody wanna go to heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now

[Post Chorus]
I think I speak for the crowd
Nobody wanna go now

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: The Wailers]
3, 4
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants go to heaven
But nobody wants go now

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody wants go to heaven
But nobody wants go now

Yeah, man, yeah
Oh, yeah
Thank you guys
Hey, gimmie some love man
Here ya go
Thank you buddy, thank you
Thank you so much
You the man

Yeah

Let's go get a beer
