Verse 2

There's people been friendly, but they'd never be your friends

Sometimes this has bent me to the ground

Now that this is all ending

I want to hear some music once again

'Cause it's the finest thing that I have ever found

But the Jordan is waiting

Though I ain't never seen the other side

Still they say you can't take in the things you have here

So on the road to salvation

I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride

And His music is already falling on my ears

There's people been talking

They say they're worried about my soul

Well, I'm here to tell you I'll keep rocking

'Til I'm sure it's my time to roll

And when I do

Repeat Chorus:

But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah

With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire

And when I look back on the stars

It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park

And it won't break my heart to say goodbye

Repeat Chorus:

'Cause when I leave I want to go out like Elijah

With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire

And when I look back on the stars

It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park

 And Cit won't break my heartD7sus

 To say Gadd9 goodbye
