Living life from day to day
And reading books from page to page,
I know life is just my stage
And I wish I could, I said I would,
I know I should do something good
And my God, I fear I'm shedding tears,
The colors change from year to year, around here
Chorus 1 & 2
And I said how, do I get to Heaven from here,
I wanna know how do I get to Heaven from here
(Riff)
Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked my watch is stopped,
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well, I sure hope St. Peter's gonna let me in
Holy Toledo
Verse 2
Now I've said too much, I'm losing touch
Step on the gas and off the clutch
Oh, I'm gonna leave Toledo,
Have no fear and time goes slow
But I'm shifting gears
Chorus 3
And I said how, do I get to Heaven from here,
I wanna know how in the hell
Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked my watch is stopped,
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well open up St. Peter your gonna let me in
Holy Toledo
I said how do I get to Heaven from here
