Heaven Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere Lyrics by Steve Earle

Ghosts of West Virginia

2020

[Verse 1]
River of Jordan is deep and wide
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
Perilous crossing to the other side
(I reckon heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
(Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm)
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)

[Verse 2]
Glory and my hard road to travel, I'm told
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
Back bent double by a ponderous load
(I reckon heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
(Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm)
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)

[Verse 3]
I work all day so I sleep alright
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
Raise a little hell on Saturday night
(I reckon heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
(Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm)
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)

[Verse 4]
Don't worry about putting nothing away
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
Money's no good come Judgment Day
(I reckon heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
(Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm)
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
(Mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm)
(Heaven ain't goin' nowhere)
