The air is getting hotter, there´s a rumblin´ in the skies I´ve been wading through the high muddy water With the heat risin´ in my eyes Every day your memory grows dimmer
It dosn´t haunt me like it did before I´ve been walking through the mirror to nowhere Tryin´ to get to heaven before they close the door.
When I was in Missouri they would not 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 and not write anymore I´ve been walkin´ that lonesome valley Tryin´ to get to heaven before they close the door.
People on the platforms, waitin´ for the trains I can hear their hearts a-beatin´ Like pendulums swinging on chains
When you think that you´ve lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more I´m just goin´ down the road feeling bad Tryin´ to get to heaven before they close the door.
I´m goin´ down the river, down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be all right But I don´t know what all right even means I was ridin´ in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore I´ve been all around the world, boys And I´m tryin´ to get to heaven before they close the door.
Gonna sleep down in the parlor and relive my dreams I close my eyes and I 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 to sugar town, I shook the sugar down Now I´m tryin´ to get to heaven before they close the door
