The air is getting hotter
There's a rumbling in the skies
I've been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn't haunt me like it did before
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying, trying to get to heaven
Before they close, close the door
ย
When I was in Missouri
They wouldn't let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
You broke a heart that loved you
Now you can seal up the book you don't have to write anymore
I've been walking that lonesome valley
Trying, trying to get to heaven
Before they close, close the door
ย
People at the station
Waiting on the train
I can hear their hearts beating
Like pendulums swinging on chains
When you think that you lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more
I'm just going down the road feeling bad
Trying, trying to get to heaven
Before they close, close the door
ย
I'm going down the river
Down to New Orleans
I close my eyes, close my eyes and wonder
If everything is as hollow as it seems
Some trains don't pull no gamblers
No midnight ramblers like they did before
I've been all around the world, boys
Now I'm trying, trying to get to heaven
Before they close, close the door
