Eli

That's All The Lumber

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:
Chorus:
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 (chorus)
Bridge:
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 (chorus2x)
