케니 체스니(Kenny Chesney)는 미국 내에서의 엄청난 인기에 비한다면 음악으로서 우리나라에 알려진 건 거의 전무하다. 이유는 단 한가지. 그가 컨트리 뮤지션이기 때문이다. 심지어 빌보드 Hot 100에까지 몇 곡을 올려놓았음에도 그를 기억하는 한국인은 오직 영화 팬들일지도 모른다. 왜냐면 그는 '브리짓 존스의 일기'로 우리에게 잘 알려진 르네 젤위거(Renne Zelwegor)와 결혼했다가 이혼당한 이혼남이니까.
Kenny Chesney (with The Wailers)
- Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven
Preacher told me last Sunday mornin’
Son, you better start livin’ right
You need to quit the women and whiskey
And carrying on all night
Don’t you wanna hear him call your name
When you’re standin’ at the pearly gates
I told the preacher, “Yes I do”
But I hope they don’t call today
I ain’t ready
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Have a mansion high above the clouds
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to go now
Said preacher maybe you didn’t see me
Throw an extra twenty in the plate
There’s one for everything I did last night
And one to get me through today
Here’s a ten to help you remember
Next time you got the good Lord’s ear
Say I’m comin’ but there ain’t no hurry
I’m havin’ fun down here
Don’t you know that
Everybody wants to go to heaven
Get their wings and fly around
Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to go now
Someday I want to see those streets of gold in my halo
But I wouldn’t mind waiting at least a hundred years or so
Everybody wanna go to heaven
It beats the other place there ain’t no doubt
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now
Everybody wanna go to heaven
Hallelujah, let me hear you shout
Everybody wanna go to heaven
But nobody wanna go now
I think I speak for the crowd
