Heaven Is Waiting lyrics

I don`t need no woman to kiss me.
And I don`t need no man to stand by my side.
I don`t need to slake my thirst with whiskey.
Don`t need to shuffle cards to pass the time.
`Cause the stars are bright and silvery.
And with the dry ache of a lone coyote`s whine,
My Savior`s calling, and I`m listening.
Time to saddle up my pony and ride.

`Cause heaven is waiting
Just past the horizon.
Just over the mesas.
Across the great divide.
And faith is blazing
This trail that I ride on up this mountain
I`m prayin` I have the strength to climb

I ain`t looking for no seven golden cities,
But I know there`s a fortune somewhere to find.
There`s a peace that I hear whisperin` through the pinyons
And a love that`s taller than the ponderosa pines.

And heaven is waiting
Just past the horizon.
Just over the mesas.
Across the great divide.
And faith is blazing
This trail that I ride on up this mountain
I`m prayin` I have the strength to climb

So don`t ask for no lengthy explanation
When there ain`t no reason quite wild enough.
No words could be as tender.
It`s greater than the fears that we imagine.
More than the warmth that we remember.
It`s always just beyond the pass
And I must go

`Cause heaven is waiting
Just past the horizon.
Just over the mesas.
Across the great divide.
And faith is blazing
This trail that I ride on up this mountain
I`m prayin` I have the strength to climb

Oh, heaven is waiting
Oh, heaven is waiting
Heaven is waiting
