Bob Dylan – Tryin' To Get To Heaven Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: Time Out Of Mind

The air is getting hotter, there^,s a rumblin^, in the skies
I^,ve been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat risin^, in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It dosn^,t haunt me like it did before
I^,ve been walking through the mirror to nowhere
Tryin^, to get to heaven before they close the door.

When I was in Missouri they would not let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
You broke a heart that loved you
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
I^,ve been walkin^, that lonesome valley
Tryin^, to get to heaven before they close the door.

People on the platforms, waitin^, for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin^,
Like pendulums swinging on chains
When you think that you^,ve lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more

I^,m just goin^, down the road feeling bad
Tryin^, to get to heaven before they close the door.

I^,m goin^, down the river, down to New Orleans
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
But I don^,t know what all right even means
I was ridin^, in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane
Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore
I^,ve been all around the world, boys
And I^,m tryin^, to get to heaven before they close the door.

Gonna sleep down in the parlor and relive my dreams
I close my eyes and I wonder
If everything is as hollow as it seems
Some trains don^,t pull no gamblers
No midnight ramblers, like they did before
I^,ve been to sugar town, I shook the sugar down
Now I^,m tryin^, to get to heaven before they close the door
