"Heaven Bound (I'm Ready)" Lyrics

Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu
Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu
Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu
Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu.

Another day, it's the same old grind
A tired body and a tired mind, yeah
The whistle blows and then I'm free
It's like an angel's a-callin' me.

And I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound.

Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu
Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu.

Well, I swear that this old truck
It's like a golden chariot, it's got a
A short bed and a long loan
But it's surely gonna take me home.

And I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound.

Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu
Aluma luma hu, aluma luma hu.

It's been a long day, Lord, and I've worked hard
But now I'm goin' to my final reward
It's your love and I just can't wait
To be standin' at the pearly gates.

And I'm ready, yeah, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound.

Well, I'm gonna leave this
Weary work-day world behind
When I look in your eyes
That Heavenly lights gonna shine, oh yeah.

I'm ready, hey, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound.

I'm ready, hey, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, yeah, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah.

I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound, yeah
I'm ready, I'm ready
It's five o'clock and I'm Heaven bound.

Yeah, I'm ready...
