Question
i do not have much to go on, but i know the song is a country song and it sounds like it might be a group singing.   i am guessing it is a song from the later 90's early 2000's.
the only lyrics i can remember are "Hell's not waiting for me" and something about "blue skies".   I hope you can help me find this song.   I have a friend who heard this song on the radio the other day and she would like to have it.   She is sick and i would like to find it for her. Thanks, Shannon

Answer
Hi Shannon!  I think you may be looking for "Guy Like Me" by Pat Green.  Here are the lyrics and a link to where you can listen to the song.  Hope this helps, and I hope your friend gets to feeling better!

Artist: Pat Green
Song: Guy Like Me
Album: Wave on Wave

Hearts and flowers, forget love letters
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting for a guy like me

Debutantes and champagne, diamonds and cocaine
I ain't the son of outrageous fortune
Cash ain't status for a guy like me

Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high into the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me, just me

Long black limousine, pictures in magazines
All night parties, beautiful people
No super model for a guy like me

I'm just a good man, I work with my hands
I get the picture, I heard the message
Hell ain't waiting for a guy like me

Put me on a cool river
Take my sins from me
Fly me high into the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me

Put me on a cool river
Take my pain from me
Fly me high on the big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me
Yeah, just me

Hearts and flowers, forget love letters
Pain and anger, forget forgiveness
Love ain't waiting on a guy like me

So put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on a big blue sky
Well, there's no one here but me

Put me on a cool river
Take my worries from me
Fly me high on a big blue sky
Well, there's no one here, just me
Yeah, just me
