Radio Paradise (mobile)

I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley on a weird radio
If you want a drink of water, you got to get it from a well
If you wanna get to heaven, you got to raise a little hell
I never felt it in my feet, I've never felt it in my soul
But I heard it in the alley, now it's in my rock and roll
If you wanna know a secret, you got to promise not to tell
If you wanna get to heaven, you got to raise a little hell
I never thought it'd be so easy, I never thought it'd be so fun
But I heard it in the alley, now I got it on the run
If you wanna see an angel, you got to find it where it fell
If you wanna get the heaven, you got to raise a little hell
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven
If you wanna get to heaven

coloradojohn Aug 05, 2011 - 20:20	Yup, we were singing this in class and got ourselves a stern scolding from cranky old Mr. Bench in Earth Science in 8th Grade — and we knew the refrain was true, regardless! Good stuff then, and still sounds fun as ever! [ Reply ]

I can remember listening to them while helping my co-worker swamp out, paint, and move into her first apartment (which probably should have been condemned, but the price was right) - we were up from at least eight P.M. to after three A.M. with the stereo playing, and our music of choice was Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Good times... I remember them from wayyyyyy back when Cyn. Really good times. I've still got them on vinyl somewhere. 7. [ Reply ]

There is overwhelming scriptual support for the concept expressed in this song ("the first shall be last, the last shall be first", the prodigal son, etc..), it's not a "hillbilly" notion. [ Reply ]
