about

This song is about how many people fall away from their faith through the trials life, but many as well, when they see the end of life if nearing, often reach back out to their faith in hopes of an afterlife, hoping for their Reservation In Heaven.

lyrics

Reservation In Heaven
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 1993


I'm here to talk to Jesus; I'm here to say hello.
I got all dressed, I'm at my best; I got nowhere else to go.
I recall we had been friends one time. When was it? Way back then!
He gave me some soul food directions; I lost them in the gin.

I'd like a reservation in Heaven
I hope there's room for me at your Inn
It seems I've overstayed on life's welcome.
St. Peter won't you please let me in?

So we went off our separate ways 'cause I thought I'd seen my light;
But I've spent my days in dirty alleyways and hostels for the night.
Well here I am this one last time, my day is near its end.
I'm here to make a reservate, here to make amends.

I'd like a reservation in Heaven
I hope there's room for me at your Inn
It seems I've overstayed on life's welcome.
St. Peter won't you please let me in?

Well I hope you have lots of forgiveness on this sinner who's so much in need
Well I don't know how these things go; help me with it please.
I'm not too proud of my his'try, but I guess that I done did my best.
I made a fool of the Golden rule, and, well hell, you know all the rest!

I'd like a reservation in Heaven
I hope there's room for me at your Inn
It seems I've overstayed on life's welcome.
St. Peter won't you please let me in?
St. Peter won't you please let me in?
St. Peter won't you please… let me in, let me in, let me in?
