**Title: Not Going In Without You** **[Intro ]** I hope there’s an old saloon outside those golden doors Where I can park and stew And wait for you some more **[Verse 1]** With a cold one in my hand And a bench beneath the glow I’ll keep to our old plan Until they call you home There’s nothing they can say To make me change my mind No right here is where I'll stay I wont be hard for you to find **[Verse 2]** If they try to force my hand I’ll make my answer clear I’ll do what I have planned I want to be right near I know I’ll leave before you You’ll live to a ripe old age But it ain’t over or even through It’s just another page **[Chorus 1]** I ain’t going in without you I’ll park my old ass here They can keep them golden streets I’ll wait and drink my beer I ain’t going in without you They can holler all they please I’ll tip my hat and tell ’em no Then settle in with ease **[Verse 3]** Don’t want to see those gates Don’t want to see gold streets I will sit right here and wait And I don’t care who I meet Heaven just ain’t that Without you by my side anyone who comes to have a chat a broken promise I won’t abide **[Verse 4]** I know the Lord will be waiting For me to take my place I want to hear the Angels sing Not as much as seeing your purty face I made you a solemn promise To forever and a day We sealed our deal with a kiss So right here’s where I’ll stay **[Chorus 3]** I ain’t going in without you I know you’ll take your time I’ll count the clouds and curse the clock Till your hand is back in mine I ain’t going in without you Even if the Lord drops by I’ll say, “No disrespect to you, Lord” But I’m waiting on my wife **[Verse 5]** They can tell me now or never And I’ll pay them no never mind I’ll sit through any bad weather Cause our love is the tie that binds I’ll sit right here outside them gates Till I see you walking near Then I’ll stand up from that bench And finish off my beer **[Final Chorus]** I ain’t going in without you That was my promise to you, my dear So open up them pearly gates My wife and I are here **[Outro – soft, satisfied]** I hope that there’s a little cantina Beyond those golden doors cause she'll be wantin her Margarita And I ain’t waiting here no more
