Karaoké Jersey on the Wall (I'm Just Asking) Tenille Townes

There's a jersey on the wall in a high-school gym in my hometown

In the corner by the scoreboard

Where the bleacher seats fold down

Twenty-seven took the Tigers to the finals that year

But that's not why it's hanging there

If I ever get to Heaven

You know I got a long list of questions

Like how do You make a snowflake?

Are You angry when the Earth quakes?

How does the sky change in a minute?

How do You keep this big rock spinnin'?

Why can't You stop a car from crashin'?

Forgive me, I'm just askin'

I bet somewhere there's a yearbook in a box under a bed

With a senior picture missin' in Loving Memory instead

And somewhere there's a mother who stopped goin' to church

'Cos Your plan quit makin' sense down here on Earth

If I ever get to Heaven

You know I got a long list of questions

Like how do You make a snowflake?

Are You angry when the Earth quakes?

How does the sky change in a minute?

How do You keep this big rock spinnin'?

Why couldn't You stop that car from crashin'?

Forgive me, I'm just askin'

Oh, I'm just sayin'

You don't have to answer now but some day

If I ever get to Heaven

I got a long list of questions

Like how do You make a snowflake?

Are You angry when the Earth quakes?

How does the sky change in a minute?

How do You keep this big rock spinnin'?

If You got Your hands on everythin' that happens

Then why couldn't

You stop that car from crashin'?

Forgive me, I'm just askin'

I'm just askin'
