GIVE HEAVEN SOME HELL
Hardy Lyrics

I bet you're lookin' for a crew like we had
Bunch of noise makin' boys that like to live fast
Burnin' rubber in a parkin' lot
Man, I don't know if the other side's ready or not, but

I hope you hit those gold streets on two wheels
I hope your mansion in the sky's got a ten acre field
With some mud and some hubs you can lock in
Make some thunder, make 'em wonder how you got in
Hide your beer, hide your clear from the man upstairs
Crank it loud, hold it down 'til I get there
And when I do, I hope you got some new stories to tell
'Til then, give Heaven some hell

I was there when you raised your hand
Heads bowed, singing just as I am
Walkin' that aisle, prayin' that prayer
Man, it ain't right but if you gotta be there

I hope you hit those gold streets on two wheels
Hope your mansion in the sky's got a ten acre field
With some mud and some hubs you can lock in
Make some thunder, make 'em wonder how you got in
Hide your beer, hide your clear from the man upstairs
Crank it loud, hold it down 'til I get there
And when I do, I hope you got some new stories to tell
'Til then, give Heaven some hell, yeah

I was there when you raised your hand (oh)
Heads bowed, singing just as I am
Man, it ain't right, man, it ain't fair

I'll see you again
But 'til then, give Heaven some hell

The song "Give Heaven Some Hell" by Hardy is a tribute to a recently deceased friend who lived life on the edge. The opening lines of the song express the singer's disbelief at having to wear a suit and tie, an outfit not suited to his normal wild lifestyle. He admits to taking a pull to stop himself from crying. The church is packed with mourners bidding their friend farewell, and the singer acknowledges that though he has lived a wild life, he had amazing grace. The singer expresses his hope that his friend is enjoying himself in heaven, and that he is causing a ruckus there just as he did on Earth.

The chorus then imagines what heaven might be like for the deceased friend. The singer hopes his friend has a mansion with ten acres of land, mud, and hubs to lock in. He hopes his friend is making thunder and causing people to wonder about how he got in. He also hopes his friend is hiding his drinks from the man upstairs and playing his music loud.

The bridge of the song goes back to the day when the deceased friend became born again, and the singer was there to see it happen. He talks about heads being bowed and people singing "Just as I am." Despite the sadness of the loss, the singer expresses hope that he will see his friend again, but until then, he wants him to keep giving heaven some hell.

Can't believe that you got me in a suit and tie
I am surprised that you have put me in formal attire for your funeral

I had to take a pull so I wouldn't cry
I had to take a drink to prevent myself from crying at your funeral

You got a line out the church door sayin' goodbye
There is a line of people outside the church to say goodbye to you

Yeah, I believe 'em when they say you're in a better place
I truly believe that you are in a better place now

You had a wild side but you had amazing grace
Even though you led a wild life, you had amazing grace

I know you're way off up in them clouds
I know you are in heaven

But if you could still hear me right now
If you can hear me, I hope you listen to what I have to say

I hope you hit those gold streets on two wheels
I hope you ride motorcycles on the streets of heaven

I hope your mansion in the sky's got a ten acre field
I hope your heavenly mansion has a ten acre field

With some mud and some hubs you can lock in
I hope your field has mud and areas where you can lock in your hubs

Make some thunder, make 'em wonder how you got in
I hope you create a lot of noise and surprise people in heaven

Hide your beer, hide your clear from the man upstairs
Be discreet with your drinking in heaven, don't get caught by God

Crank it loud, hold it down 'til I get there
Play the music loud and wait for me to join you in heaven

And when I do, I hope you got some new stories to tell
When I see you again, I hope you have some new stories to tell me about heaven

'Til then, give Heaven some hell
Until we meet again, I hope you have fun and make some noise in heaven

I bet you're lookin' for a crew like we had
I think you are looking for a group of friends like we had back on earth

Bunch of noise makin' boys that like to live fast
A group of boys who make noise and love living life in the fast lane

Burnin' rubber in a parkin' lot
I hope you are burning some rubber in heaven's parking lots

Man, I don't know if the other side's ready or not, but
I am not sure if heaven is ready for your wild ways, but I hope you are having fun

I was there when you raised your hand
I was present when you raised your hand and committed your life to God

Heads bowed, singing just as I am
We were all bowing our heads and singing during the church service

Walkin' that aisle, prayin' that prayer
You were walking down the aisle of the church, praying during the service

Man, it ain't right but if you gotta be there
It's not fair that you had to leave us, but it's where you have to be now

Man, it ain't right, man, it ain't fair
It's not right and it's not fair that you are gone

I'll see you again
I know I will see you again in heaven
