“A Man Should Own Land”

Scot Robinson

Canada

My father always said

A man should own land

So I bought a grave plot

On a layaway plan

Reckon Iʼll be dead

Longer than Iʼm alive

Iʼll be kissing that dirt

For a long, long time

Found me a spot

pretty as can be

a place to call home

for eternity

Twenty more payments

And its all mine

Borrowed money

On Borrowed time

(Chorus)

I wanna go to heaven

But will they let me in

They got their standards

Well I got my sin

Donʼt wanna go to hell

Thereʼs too much family

Put my soul in the ground

Lay the earth over me

The grass on my grave

is going grow high

My mother's gonna stop

My mother's gonna cry

Her tears gonna come

tumbling on down

Iʼll have the nicest place

In this whole damn town

(Chorus)

I wanna go to heaven

But will they let me in

They got their standards

Well I got my sin

Donʼt wanna go to hell

Thereʼs too much family

Put my soul in the ground

Lay the earth over me

If I had me some money

Iʼd buy me a stone

To have one thing in this life

to mark as my own

Chisel in my name

my birth and dying day

Other than that

What's there left to say

(Chorus)

I wanna go to heaven

But will they let me in

They got their standards

Well I got my sin

Donʼt wanna go to hell

Thereʼs too much family

Put my soul in the ground

Lay the over me
