Steel Guitar In Heaven

Story Behind The Song

I bought a steel guitar, and found it to too hard to play with both feet, both knees, and both hands, and sing. I determined I would only be able to do it in heaven.

Lyrics

Steel Guitar in Heaven

(chorus)
I want to play steel guitar in heaven in the band,
Steel guitar in heaven in the band,
Oh Lord grant me grace, When I'm in that place,
I want to play steel guitar in heaven in the band.

I hear that angel choir,
Singing bright like mountain flowers,
Singing praises to the Lord all day long.
They never get bored of singing to the Lord.
I want to play steel guitar in heaven in the band.
(chorus)
When I reach those pearly gates,
Where Saint Peter stands and waits,
I'll be walking down the straight and narrow road.
I'll be carrying my guitar,
Lord knows I can carry it that far.
I want to play steel guitar in heaven in the band.
(chorus)

Now electricity will be no problem for me,
It comes from Gods' own true power plant.
Those circuits won't be closed,
They'll be open cause He knows,
I want to play steel guitar in heaven in the band.
(chorus)
