Letra de
Spirit In The Sky

Spirit in the Sky foi escrita e performada por Norman Greenbaum. A música tornou-se popular por seu som de rock psicodélico, e particularmente pela guitarra distorcida. A letra fala sobre um encontro com Jesus após a morte e foi inspirada pelo fato de Greenbaum querer escrever uma canção gospel.

When I die and they lay me to rest,
gonna go to the place that's the best
When they lay me down to die,
going up to the spirit in the sky
Going up to the spirit in the sky, (spirit in the sky)
that's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Prepare yourself, you know it's a must,
got to have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die,
He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)
Oh, recommend you to the spirit in the sky,
that's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest,
you're gonna go to the place that's the best
Solo
Never been a sinner, I've never sinned,
I've got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die,
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Oh, set me up with the spirit in the sky, (spirit in the sky)
that's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die)
When I die and they lay me to rest,
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
