Eli - That's All The Lumber Lyrics
Said a friend to a friend one day,Was a man who passed awaySt. Peter met him at the gatePete said: "Walk with me if you willI'll take you to the house you built"Man said: "I can't wait!"Passed a mansion made of stoneBut with each new house he's shownThey get smaller by degreesStopped in front of a two room shackPete said hope you're happy with thatMan said: "How can this be?"Pete said:Chorus:That's all the lumber--that's all the lumberthat's all the lumber you sentLooks like the builder--man he's got your numberThat's all the lumber you sent(intro)Man didn't know what to saypoor guy was blown awaySaid: "you mean this is what I deserve?"Pete said: "I'm afraid it's soIt's too late but now you knowShoulda done better work"Said: You mean not lie and cheatand helpin' old ladies across the street?Pete says: Well, that's a startRemember that man back in that great big house?He found out early what it's all aboutBuilt that place with his heart--as for you (chorus)Bridge:What if that man was meAnd I failed that miserablyYou're showin' me things I don't wanna see(intro)St. Peter if you canSend me back to earth againIs that somethin' you can do?Pete said: It ain't up to meIf it was I'd like to seeHow you plan to improveSaid: I'd love God and fellow manTake a wife and make a standBe the givinest guy I can beAnd when I get back to this neighborhoodThere'd be a big gigantic pile of woodAnd I'd say: What's this I see?--You'd tell me (chorus2x)
