Sometimes I think about silly things   It's easy to do if you have the time   It often happens when I'm falling off to sleep   After a second glass of wine      The clock is usually runnin' out   Down by one or could be tied   I'm fading back, winding up   The championship on the line      But what if there was a road to heaven   That's what came to me today?   Would there be traffic jams with diamond lanes   Potholes filled up with rain?   Would there be tolls still left to pay?      If there was a road to heaven   Made of gold or made out of clay   Would the Angels wave me up the hill   Or in my mirror just fade away?      I've never been the kind a man who hits his knees be   Got no answers for big questions, well, I don't know   Maybe tomorrow lightning will hit me on the head   And we can find out if we're just a joke      Oh, Jesus, I'm told, can build a bridge   Finer than any other man   There's a certain peace to a country road   With a wheel in your hand      If there was a road to heaven   Would there be laws I must obey?   If I drove my Mustang 85   Late one night turned out the lights   Would the stars still light the way?      If there was a road to heaven   Made of gold or made of clay   Would the Angels lead me up the hill?   Or in my mirror just fade away?      Night turns mornin', the old man should be snorin'   I got to get some sleep before I'm awake   Up with the monkeys, I sure love the monkeys   But this job ain't all cookies and cake      Sometimes I think about silly things   It's easy to do if you got the wine   In the Eagle we're landing, I'm the President   Or a foreign king with a harem from Encino to Brunei      But if there was a road to heaven   It'd be one long and crazy ride?   If there was a road to heaven, babe   That's a road that I'd like to find
