When I Leave Songtext
von Parker Millsap

Preacher said the day is comin′
When trumpets sound and the ground starts hummin'
Ain′t no use hidin' or runnin'
Say your prayers, keep your fingers crossed

And I just try to do the right thing
Pray for rain but not for lightning
Say my peace without the fighting
But I can′t be found without getting lost

When I leave, then maybe I′ll go to heaven
When I leave, then maybe I'll go to some place else
Sister don′t grieve if you believe I'm unforgiven
Sometimes it′s hard to tell


Here today, gone tomorrow
Satisfied and full of sorrow
Slow to give, quick to borrow
But I tried my hardest not to sin

Packin' up all my belongings
Leave my lonesome and my longing
Nothin′ but my spirit on me
I'm gonna go some place I've never been

When I leave, then maybe I′ll go to heaven
When I leave, then maybe I′ll go to some place else
But sister don't grieve if you believe I′m unforgiven
Sometimes it's hard to tell
It′s hard to tell

Preacher said the day is comin'
When the trumpets sound and the ground starts hummin′
Ain't no use hidin' or runnin′
Say your prayers and keep your fingers crossed
