Kyle Stibbs - Traffic in the Afterlife

Copied!

{verse 1}
Standing by the side of the bed that grandpa's in
But don't look like him
A priest walked into the room to share some final words
Grandpa said "i don't need prayers from you
I've just got a question
Now tell me the truth
And don't laugh or crack a smile if the question sounds absurd"

{chorus}
"is there traffic in the afterlife?
'cause i lost my wife just a few years back
And i don't think i have the patience to keep waiting when i'm there
Are there police in the afterlife?
'cause i just might speed to get by her side
Handcuffs in heaven don't sound fair
I don't really wanna ask you twice
Is there traffic in the afterlife?"

{verse 2}
Silence had fallen over the room
And the priest held back a little grin or two
He wanted to stick to the script of the prayers that he had planned
Grandpa always had a kind old soul
But he knew what he wanted to say and be told
Nobody ever made the claim that he wasn't a stubborn man
He said

{chorus}
"is there traffic in the afterlife?
'cause i lost my wife just a few years back
And i don't think i have the patience to keep waiting when i'm there
Are there police in the afterlife?
'cause i just might speed to get by her side
Handcuffs in heaven don't sound fair
I don't really wanna ask you twice
Is there traffic in the afterlife?"

{bridge}
He said
"father, father, i don't wanna be a bother, bother
Father, father, but i gotta know
Father, father, i don't wanna be a bother, bother
Father, father, but i gotta know"

{chorus}
"is there traffic in the afterlife?
'cause i lost my wife just a few years back
And i don't think i have the patience to keep waiting when i'm there
Are there police in the afterlife?
'cause i just might speed to get by her side
Handcuffs in heaven don't sound fair
I don't really wanna ask you twice
I don't really wanna ask advice
I don't really wanna ask you twice
Is there traffic in the afterlife?"
