Welcome to the music of Mark Wilson. I write songs, play bass, sing, and lately... play a little fingerstyle guitar. I am also in the learning process of recording some of my songs (old and new). Hope to have some fun and create some worthwhile recordings. Best of all... "I'm gonna get by with a little help from my friends.'' So... just getting started here... more to come. A special thanks to Mike Shelton for lending his talent to this effort. His leadwork on dobro and guitar is featured on 'Take Me Back', and 'One More Reason'. Oh and one other thing. I don't have the time or intention to make this come out perfect. Hopefully, it's good enough to reward your time listening. Thanks, Mark Wilson K-Vegas, NC

Story behind the song
A sinners look at heaven
Lyrics
Everybody wants to go there Everybody wants a front row seat They don't mind to stand in line With a stranger in the street They want to know that they’re good to go When they get to the other side And try to cover how they treat one another And hope, He can let it slide Some plan to buy a ticket Credit card, cash in hand Spend it all down at the New Hope mall, hoping to get in I don’t know if you can pay to go, I guess it’s worth a shot If you plan to buy redemption, you better give them all you got Refrain: I want to go to heaven in the sweet by and by I want to hear the angels near, singing when I die I want to know when it’s time to go That there’s nothing left that I should say or do I want to go to heaven when my time on earth is thru. Bridge: Cause a self-righteous man who doesn’t see his own sin Wears it on his sleeve But it’s the things you do when the sermons thru That says what you believe And I believe in a golden rule, love another cause he’s just like you And hope that he can be there too, on the other side Refrain: I want to go to heaven in the sweet by and by I want to hear angels near, singing when I die I want to know when it’s time to go That there’s nothing left I need to say to you I want to go to heaven when my time on earth is thru.
