U-Haul Lyrics

How many possessions can a man possess

Before he acquires happiness - mmhhmm

It begs the question in quiet reflection

Can a man purchase his own redemption - mmhmm?

One thing Mama told me

It's the God's honest truth

Rich man might deny it

But I swear it ain't no use

CHORUS:

You can't take it with you

When they lay you in the dirt

Go ahead and try it

You would not be the first

Heaven ain't Las Vegas

But I can think of somewhere worse

You can't pull a U Haul behind your hearse - mmhhmm

They can put you in your Sunday suit with pennies on your eyes

But if you're going where I'm going you won't need no coat and tie – mmhhmm

Cause naked you came to the world leaving it's just the same

The day you meet St. Peter up at those pearly gates – mmhmm

It's like trying to shove a camel

Through the eye of a needle

It ain't never gonna happen

I just gotta tell ya people

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

You can burn it, you can blow it

You can bet it on roulette

But Heaven's garments have no pockets

For your old wallet – yeah...

CHORUS
