In The Wrong Line
By Paul Wilson

I died the other night
Drunk and chasing women like always
Been waiting at the gates of hell to get in
Was a sinner most of my days

I feel the heat from fires of hell
Burning my skin every now and then
Old friends that died years ago
Still waiting to get in

Never knew so many people I knew
We’re waiting to get into hell
The line to get in is so long
Damn I hate that smell

Been waiting in this line too long
Think I’ll change my ways before it’s too late
Heard of a place called Heaven
Saint Peter guards the gate

A voice says I’ll give you one more chance
To prove you belong in Heaven with me
Away I was carried on a golden horse
Back up to earth you see

I promised to be good
Stop my evil ways
Heaven’s where I wanna be
For the rest of my days

Started going to church
Quit getting drunk
Quit chasing women
Lived like a monk

Died sitting in church
On a Sunday morning
Had a smile on my face
Died without a warning

Went up to Heaven
Saint Peter opened the gate
Said hello to me
Glad to see you’re not late

Hardly no waiting in line
Just a minute or two
Some of your old friends are there
They welcome you

Had to giggle at the hardly any wait for the line to heaven.  You think that alone would be enough to get people more interested in going that direction, wouldn't you?  love where you went with this.

Michael...So glad you got a giggle out of this challenge you gave me. I really think people need to look to God for help and guidance. I know it works...Paul
