TWO FOR TUESDAY


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


If You Wanna Get To Heaven
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils
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 want to get to Heaven
You got to raise a little Hell

I never felt it in my feet
I never felt it in my soul
But I heard it the alley
Now it’s in my rock and roll

If you want to know a secret
You got to promise not to tell
I you want to 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 the alley
Not I got it on the run

If you want to see an angel
You got to find it where she fell
If you want to get to Heaven
You got 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


Jackie Blue
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Ooh hoo
Jackie Blue
Lives her life from
Inside of a room
Hides that smile
When she’s wearin’ a frown
Ooh Jackie
You’re not so down

You like your life
In a freeform style
You’ll take an inch
But you’d love a mile
There never seems
To be quite enough
Floatin’ around
To fill your lovin’ cup

Ooh hoo
Jackie Blue
What’s a game girl
If you never lose
Ask a winner
And you’ll probably find
Ooh Jackie
They’ve lost at sometime

Don’t try to tell me
That you’re not aware
Of what you’re doin’
And that you don’t care
You say it’s easy
Just a natural thing
Like playing music
But you never sing

Ooh hoo
Jackie Blue
Makin’ wishes
That never come true
Goin’ places
Where you’ve never been
Ooh Jackie
You’re goin’ again

Ooh hoo
Jackie Blue
Lives her life from
Inside of a room
Makes you think that
Her life is a drag
Ooh Jackie
What fun you have had

Ooh Jackie

Ooh Jackie

Ooh Jackie

Ooh Jackie

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

  1. I really wanted to tell you that these were great choices for today. I haven't heard either of those in years. Duke says I'm not allowed to comment on your blog today though.

  2. Oh, I am really sorry that you couldn't make it today, my dear Ann. For I think Duke would've really loved these two songs.

  4. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Coleen!!! I am really glad you liked this, and I liked your post about using "ancient" technologies. (LOL?)

  5. FishHawk,

    I thought you might like the "ancient" relics. On Friday, I plan to do one on vinyl records...mostly recycled stuff.

  6. Speaking of such, I read on The Ozark Mountain Daredevils website that all of their old albums are in the process of being digitally remastered and released on CD's. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Coleen!!!

    P.S.: I almost forgot that I wanted to mention that the assistant band director I had in high school was one of the original members of the group, but he quit before they hit it big in order to go into teaching snot-nosed brats like me. Oh yeah, he was kicking himself.
