Richard Marx - Another Heaven lyrics

He lived his life in isolation

A man without a name

Saddled with a reputation

From Cheyenne he came

He moved down South when the money ran out

And turned to a life of crime

Things weren't all that different then

They'd kill you for a dime

Never showed no mercy

Had a heart of stone

And his hands were dirty

Stained to the bone

He said

Turn back! It's too late

All I can do is pray there's another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

Sinners like me need another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

I've run out of time

He lived at least a dozen lifetimes

Luck was on his side

The only friend he ever had

Was his trusty forty-five

His final words to my grand daddy were

"Son, you must be brave"

And all that's left of what he was

Is in this Texas grave

He could smell the danger

Oh, he knew the end was near

Through the smoke and whiskey

One thing was clear

He said

Turn back! It's too late

All I can do is pray there's another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

Sinners like me need another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

All I can do is pray there's another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

I've run out of time

Look me in the eyes

I wanna see it coming

He never showed no mercy

Oh, he had a heart of stone

And his hands were dirty

Stained to the bone

Turn back! It's too late

All I can do is pray there's another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

Sinners like me need another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

I've run out of time

Turn back! It's too late

Sinners like me need another heaven, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, turn back! It's too late

All I can do is pray there's another heaven

Turn back! It's too late

I've run out of time

Look me in the eyes

I wanna see it coming

I wanna see it coming, yeah

I wanna see it coming, yeah, yeah

I wanna see it coming, baby
