Halfway To Heaven Lyrics - Harry Chapin

There's no tick tock on your electric clock 

But still your life runs down. 

There's no tick tock on your electric clock 

But still your life runs down. 

I'm halfway to heaven and my home in Forest Hills 

It's halfpast eleven and I've got some time to kill. 

I missed my bus connection my train got in too late 

And I'm forced into reflection by this half hour wait. 

Now I have been a straight man and I've played it by the rules 

I been a good man, a good husband, a good old fashioned fool. 

I have a fine wife and two children just like everybody's got 

But after fifteen years of marriage the fires don't burn too hot.

ahhhh someone played a trick on me. 

They set me up so perfectly 

They Gave me their morality 

And then changed the rules they set for me. 

Someone must be laughing now, 

Though it don't seem funny somehow, 

How the world's accepting now 

What they once would not allow 

Back in my younger days. 

The world has changed in so many ways. 

My mother once said to me so many years ago now 

Don't you touch those bad girls, so I never had girls 

Until I had my Mary when we married. 

My Mary then had my two sons 

My life as a lover was already done 

It was over before it had really begun.

ahhhh someone played a trick on me. 

They sent this little girl to me, 

She is my new secretary 

And she's something to see. 

yeah She's a nice girl, but it's a young world 

And she lives her life so free, and she sure gets thru to me 

She brings her pad into my office, she wears a sweater and a skirt 

And somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt. 

She's wearing nothing underneath, and I can see what's there to see 

She smiles and says, "You wanted me?" I'd have to agree. 

You know how much I want her, 

And I know that I could have her. 

I know I could, I know she would 

Make love to me, so wonderfully. 

God damn, I'm one crazy mixed up mixture of a man. 

In my head all my life I've been a sinner, 

And in my bed with just my wife I'm still a beginner, 

But tomorrow night I'm taking that little girl out to dinner! 

There's no tick tock on your electric clock 

But still your life runs down.
