Lyrics

I'll Be There Soon
By Dave Undis and Michael Skotte

VERSE
It's been a long time since I've seen you. The road's been hard and long.
I've missed you riding shotgun, guiding me along.
Took a few wrong turns without you, got a little bit off track.
But this last stretch is easy. I don't need to see a map.

CHORUS
The road ahead is short and flat. I'm gonna be with you at last.
Wait for me. I'll be there soon.
No obstacles to navigate. Just straight ahead to the pearly gates.
Meet me there. I'll be there soon.

VERSE
My joints are rusting up, and my air filter is clogged.
My engine knocks, I'm leaking oil, my spark plugs are shot.
Can't get no replacement parts. There's nothing to be done.
I've told the Lord I'm coming in and this is my last run.

CHORUS
The road ahead is short and flat. I'm gonna be with you at last.
Wait for me. I'll be there soon.
No obstacles to navigate. Just straight ahead to the pearly gates.
Meet me there. I'll be there soon.

BRIDGE
In heaven I'll get a trade in,
A model that can fly.
And you and I will ride the skies
Forever side by side.

CHORUS
The road ahead is short and flat. I'm gonna be with you at last.
Wait for me. I'll be there soon.
No obstacles to navigate. Just straight ahead to the pearly gates.
Meet me there. I'll be there soon.
