They say up in heaven the streets are gold Once you get past the pearly gates And the angels are singin' At the top of a dove white staircase
And I say heartache can burn you down like hell Leave you beggin' "Baby, please don't go" 'Til you're scrapin' rock bottom And cryin' in a deep, dark hole
Oh, and love can make you fly like a rocket Put you on top of the world
I'm talkin' 'bout Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin' Heartache - that's where I've been Heaven, heartache and the power of love
Well the preacher says when your time is up You take a chariot to the lord Well I'm hopin' my chariot's A torch red Thunderbird Ford
And my old flame said "I hate to break it to you darlin'" "I was born the leavin' kind" Left me standin' in the drive Cryin' why baby, why baby, why?
Oh, but real love's got me back in the saddle Shoutin' "Amen!" again
That's what I know about Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin' Heartache - that's where I've been Heaven, heartache and the power of love
I've gotta keep lovin' and livin' And learnin' and burnin' Movin' on down the road
Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin' Heartache - that's where I've been Heaven, heartache and the power of
Heaven - it's where I hope I'm goin' Heartache - that's where I've been Heaven, heartache and the power of love, uh-huh Heaven, heartache and the power of love
Heaven, heartache and the power of love Heaven - where I hope I'm goin' Heartache - that's where I've been Heaven - mmhmm Heartache - oooh
Heaven - that's where I'm goin' Heartache - oh, that's where I've been Heaven - where I hope I'm goin' Heartache
