Get There When I Get There Songtext
von Bob Wayne

When I was a young boy, in tongues they all would speak
I was forced to hold their water, and the pastor washed my feet
I was baptized by a gambler who′s now living on the streets
And he told me hell was waiting
Hell, you can wait for me


As I sail oh, ho
I'll get there when I get there
And oh, ho, I will get there when I come
And all the righteous will sit there
While the sinner′s answer the call

It's been a long, long time since I've been back home
I′ve been around the world, and I know where I belong
Where the demons, they can′t trick me
I don't believe those gospel songs
And even though I know the words, I still won′t sing along


But I sing, oh, ho
I'll get there when I get there
And oh, ho, I will get there when I come
And all the righteous, they just sit there
While the sinner′s answer the call
