U-Haul

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
 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
 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
