歌曲歌詞
Said a friend to a friend one day
Was a man who passed away
St Peter met him at the gate
Pete said: "Walk with me if you will
I'll take you to the house you built"
Man said: "I can't wait "
Passed a mansion made of stone
But with each new house he's shown
They get smaller by degrees
Stopped in front of a two room shack
Pete said hope you're happy with that
Man said: "How can this be "
Pete said:
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
That's all the lumber you sent
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
That's all the lumber you sent
(intro)
Man didn't know what to say
Poor guy was blown away
Said: "you mean this is what I deserve "
Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so
It's too late but now you know
Shoulda done better work"
Said: You mean not lie and cheat
And helpin' old ladies across the street
Pete says: Well that's a start
Remember that man back in that great big house
He found out early what it's all about
Built that place with his heart--as for you
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
That's all the lumber you sent
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
That's all the lumber you sent
What if that man was me
And I failed that miserably
You're showin' me things I don't wanna see
(intro)
St Peter if you can
Send me back to earth again
Is that somethin' you can do
Pete said: It ain't up to me
If it was I'd like to see
How you plan to improve
Said: I'd love God and fellow man
Take a wife and make a stand
Be the givinest guy I can be
And when I get back to this neighborhood
There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood
And I'd say: What's this I see --You'd tell me
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
That's all the lumber you sent
Big boss'll help you hammer it all together
That's all the lumber you sent"
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
That's all the lumber you sent
Big boss'll help you hammer it all together
That's all the lumber you sent"
