The preacher said reward awaits
On the other side of heavens gates
You won't need your earthly things
Just follow the call when the angel sings
Well I don't know about all that jazz 
Giving thanks and praises
But I'm not about to fold my hand 
When I've got all these aces

So I'm taking it with me
I'm gonna drain my accounts, 
my last check'll bounce
I'm taking it with me
It'll all be gone when I move on
I don't know where I'm gonna go
But I'll be ready when the chariot drops down low

Some of my friends they tell me
Brother when you're dead you're dead
But the only folks who know ain't talkin
'Bout the road that lies ahead
So I'll pack me a few things 
a few things I might need
Because nothing is for certain
And nothing is guaranteed

So when time runs out and I'm near the end
I got bad news for my next-of-kin
They won't be fightin' over the will
Cause the only thing I'll leave's a funeral bill
You can say I'm crazy
You can call me a dirty dog
But you'll be turning out your pockets
And I'll be riding into heaven 
High on the hog

I'm taking it with me
I'm gonna drain my accounts, 
My last check'll bounce
I'm taking it with me
It'll all be gone when I move on
I don't know where I'm gonna go
But I'll be ready when the chariot drops down low
Ready when the chariot drops down low...
