Dead South, The - Heaven In A Wheelbarrow Lyrics

Darn it! I can't sing this fast! ROFL!

I really want to see a music video of just a drunk guy being pushed around in a wheelbarrow running from cops who are trying to take him to "Hell in a shopping cart"

Is this song about delusions of grandeur or should I interpret literally

when i heard this on the new cd i actually laughed haha

I want to play this at church.

Would you rather go to heaven in a wheelbarrow or be in hell with good company?

That's quite a question you ask.

Well, I would certainly have more friends in hell. Off to see them in February in Birmingham (UK) Can't wait.

@ReverseWingover I saw them this year in Iowa, USA. They're amazing.

@MonkeyGirl Burns I can't wait, I've seen Sabbath, Purple, Alice Cooper, Ozzy, Kitaro (Who?? - seriously check him out, Loud with a spliff and plenty of whisky ;-) ) more bands than I care to mention but Dead South have really got my attention. Proper music played by a bunch of guys who enjoy what they do and do it very well indeed. Music like it should be.

My mum has become obsest with these guys. Plays there songs non stop......i now know half of the new songs from a 30min car trip

Your mom is the best

holy cow this song is amazing :D I love it so mutch :D You go guys !!! :D

This makes me want to start singing it while I'm in church.

And The Holy Father with a drunkard will begin to dance dances hailing from the Wild West.

southern baptist energy

Lyrics:


If upon that day I die
I'm too drunk to walk let alone to drive
And I'm kickin' and I'm spittin' like I'm wild and feral
Won't you take me to heaven in a wheelbarrow

I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there

Oh you can go and you go [?]
Wrapped on an angels wings of speed
Or even in the pyramid like a Pharaoh
But I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I met some guy on the wrong side of town
Who gets me up when I'm going down
She keeps me in line shootin' straight and narrow
Now she's taking me to heaven in a wheelbarrow

I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there

Well I met woman with a cold heart
She tried to take me to heaven in a shopping cart
Said woman you're putting my soul in peril
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow

I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there

I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there

A lot of men don't stand so tall
Most of us you know we gotta fall
Some are lookin' life down a shotgun barrel
But I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow

I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
I'm going to heaven yes sir
I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
So won't you take me there

Thx for all the lyrics. Greetings from Belgium, België, Belgique ...

It's
"She tried to take me to Hell in a shopping cart."
Not Heaven. Sorry if this came off as rude.
Thank you for all the lyrics by the way. Much appreciated. :D
