Jersey On The Wall (I'm Just Asking)

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'?
And 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
'Cause 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
Oh, 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'
