Because I Can I'm going to a place where they say there is no shame I'm going to a place where they claim you feel no pain I'm leaving for a state that has no hate and has no fear It isn't here, it's over there Cancel my reservations 'cause I won't be staying long I am heading for a place that they sing about in songs I'm going to a place where they say no one pays for all their crimes I'm going up that way where they say there is no Time And if it's Heaven then I'll sing "Hallelujahs!" In that angelic gospel band But if it's Hell, then I will miss you, and I'll be lonely, And I will cry there Because I can Because I can Because I can © 2011, Allen Herndon (BMI).
