Buying My Way into Heaven
Earning Salvation: Sammy Hagar's Spiritual Journey Revealed
Lyrics
I'm saving my money, and buying my way into Heaven
I am accumulating wealth to secure my place in Heaven.
My T.V. Evangalist showed me the way into Heaven
A television evangelist has guided me on the path to Heaven.
Now make no mistake, and I won't be forsaken (in Heaven)
I am confident that I won't be abandoned or rejected in Heaven.
Save all of my pay, at the end of a day to (Heaven)
I save all my earnings with the goal of reaching Heaven.
Pack all my belongs, and send them away (Heaven)
I am willing to part with my possessions as a sacrifice for Heaven.
Yes, I'll do without, so my lord can be richer (Heaven)
I am ready to live without luxuries so that my devotion makes the Lord richer in Heaven.
I'll be laughin', and jokin', and drinkin', and toastin' him (grunt)
I will experience joy, humor, and celebration, dedicating it all to Heaven.
