Lyrics:

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?'
