It was the hottest day of August All of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock River I was next in line to be baptized at the innocent age of ten And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water And that preacher's words still fill my head and I hear them now and then He said,?Do you wanna go to heaven?" And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on" ?Take my hand, can you feel that feelin??? And I said,?Yeah just lead me on? It was the hottest night of summer And our final high school dance were just about over I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men And I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water But the preacher's words I've barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in She said,?Do you wanna go to heaven?" And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on" ?Take my hand, can you feel that feelin??? And I said,?Yeah just lead me on? It was a lonely night in August She was sittin? at the end of the bar when I saw her And with the little wine and a little time she would be a prize to win Now I'll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water But that preacher's words could not be heard Wen she whispered, come on in She said,?Do you wanna go to heaven?" And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on" ?Take my hand, can you feel that feelin??? And I said,?Yeah just lead me on? She said,?Do you wanna go to heaven?" And I said, "Yeah, just lead me on" ?Take my hand, can you feel that feelin??? And I said,?Yeah just lead me on? She said,?Do you wanna go to heaven?"
