There's a jersey on the wall In a high-school gym in my hometown In the corner, by the scoreboard Where the bleacher seats fold down Twenty-seven took the Tigers To the finals that year But that's not why it's hanging there
If I ever get to Heaven You know I got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the Earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinnin'? Why can't You stop a car from crashin'? Forgive me, I'm just askin'
I bet somewhere, there's a yearbook In a box under a bed With a senior picture missin' In Loving Memory instead And somewhere there's a mother Who stopped goin' to church 'Cause Your plan quit makin' sense down here on Earth
If I ever get to Heaven You know I got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the Earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinnin'? Why couldn't You stop that car from crashin'? Forgive me, I'm just askin' Oh, I'm just sayin' You don't have to answer now Oh, but some day
If I ever get to Heaven Got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the Earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinnin'? If You got Your hands on everythin' that happens Then why couldn't You stop that car from crashin'? Forgive me, I'm just askin' Oh, I'm just askin'
