lyrics

Speeding up the Process
Lord take me away while I’m still in good grace
I’m safe today, but I might screw up tomorrow
Lord take me away just like you did Elijah
But I don’t need no fancy chariot, I could leave in a car crash
Or have an aneurism or some freak accident
It’s a good time for me to leave right now, ain’t got much to leave behind
No large investments Lord, no hearts to break
But I’m still young and healthy Lord, got quite awhile to live
So how bout I speed up the process, how bout I speed up the process
How bout I speed up the process, I’ll speed up the process
How bout I speed up the process

Oh take me as I am, I could die inside my sleep
But if I took my life would you honor it the same?
Oh as far as I know, there ain’t no suicidals in heaven
As far as I know, there ain’t no suicidal in heaven

I was at a funeral; I didn’t know em that well
But I know they didn’t know you either, so they’re probably in hell
But people don’t like to admit that much, we cover it up with clichés
Saying things like, “they were always good ol boys; they were just having fun.”
When things go wrong, everybody’s a saint
