Hey, I'm trying to find an Alan Jackson song, somewhere in the lyrics it say "because you'll be there" and something about Heaven, and how everybody will sing up there, and the people who never have will be the first to try or something? I heard the song today and have got to know the name!!!

I've gone through every Alan Jackson song I own and several lyric sites and can't find it... are you positive it's Alan?

Mystery solved... It's George Strait, not Alan Jackson

"You'll Be There"

Hope is an anchor and love is a ship, time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going, ‘till you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map
A compass and a conscience, so you don̢۪t get lost at sea
Or on some lonely island, where no one wants to be

From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world where we have never been
And we'll climb up on a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing

Whoa, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I̢۪m gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don̢۪t have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
‘Cause you'll be there
Oh, my , my

You don̢۪t bring nothing with you here
And you can̢۪t take nothing back
I ain̢۪t never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin̢۪
Scarred my back from fallin̢۪ down
Spent so much time flying high, till I̢۪m face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin̢۪ me, would you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand to see you both someday

Whoa, my, my
So I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I̢۪m gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don̢۪t have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
‘Cause you'll be there
Oh, my , my
Cause you'll be there
Oh, my ,my
