Hell Was Full (So I Came Back) Lyrics

Now I've been a sinner all my life.

Don't believe me? Ask my wife

I've had a place reserved in hell for as long as I can tell

So when I dropped dead I took my scheduled flight

When I got to hell I was surprised.

I could not believe my bloodshot eyes

There was a massive queue outside, full of bad folks who had died

I could feel the heat and hear the cries

Hell was full so I came back.

Hell was full so I came back

When I met Satan that day he sent me on my way

He told me hell was full, I came back

Satan held a clipboard in his fist

I saw my name up on his list

He said hell is overbooked, you're getting off the hook

I said okay, if that's what you insist. And he did

But I had a chance to look around

And I heard this awful wailing sound

Hell was full of, accordion players, banjo pluckers,

Old folk singers, burnt out truckers

No place for me to hang around. So I got out

Hell was full so I came back

Hell was full so I came back

When I met Satan that day, he sent me on my way

He told me hell was full, I came back

Now I'm back on earth but on probation

Satan said don't you cause no aggravation

The first thing you do wrong, you'll be back where you belong

Keep away from all temptation

Hell was full so I came back

Hell was full so I came back

When I met Satan that day he sent me on my way

He told me hell was full, I came back

He told me hell was full, I came back

Hell was full, I came back
