Heaven Bound (I'm Ready) Songtext
von Shenandoah

Another day it′s the same old grind
A tired body and a tired mind, yeah
The whistle blows and then I'm free
It′s like an angel's a-callin' me

And I′m ready (I′m ready), I'm ready (I′m ready)
It's five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, I'm ready
It's five o′clock, and I′m heaven bound

Well, I swear that this old truck
It's like a golden chariot, it′s got a
A short bed and a long loan
But it surely gonna take me home

And I'm ready (I′m ready), I'm ready (I′m ready)
It's five o'clock, and I′m heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, I'm ready
It′s five o'clock, and I′m heaven bound


It's been a, a long day, Lord, and I′ve worked hard
But now I'm goin' to my final reward
It′s your love and I just can′t wait
To be standin' at the pearly gates

And I′m ready (I'm ready), hey, I′m ready (I'm ready)
It′s five o'clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, I′m ready
It's five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound

Well, I′m gonna leave this
Weary work-day world behind
When I look in your eyes
That heavenly light gonna shine
Oh, yeah

I'm ready (I′m ready), hey, I'm ready (I'm ready)
It′s five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, I'm ready
It′s five o'clock, and I′m heaven bound

I'm ready (I'm ready), hey, I′m ready (I′m ready)
It's five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, yeah, I'm ready
It′s five o'clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah


I′m ready (I′m ready)
It's five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound, yeah
I′m ready, I'm ready
It′s five o'clock, and I'm heaven bound

Yeah, I′m ready (I′m ready)
It's five o′clock, and I'm heaven bound
