Some folks say that life is just a veil of tears
Not me man I can´t pack enough into these years
I don´t care if it´s spring summer winter or fall
Make no fuss about the seasons, ´cause I like ´em all

CHORUS
Here on earth I´ll have my cake
Gonna eat it too, make no mistake
´Cause if it´s a question of to be or not to be
I´ll put on my boots and go see what I can see

My grandpa, well a good Christian life he led
Worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head
He said that when he died he´d get his reward
´Cause heaven´s a place where you don´t pay room & board

When I die, I hope I don´t die too slow
But slow or quick, I hope heaven is the place I go
Old St. Pete´s gonna serve me my pie in the sky
And I´ll say "Pete, a side of ice cream, if you don´t mind."
