Pearly Gates

Ever since I was born

I saw the light and the wind

And held the sward of the lord

Clinched the good book

Whenever bad luck

Shook my resolve

As a youngster

I learned to reflect

And offer up one knee

They said repent son

You'll get his attention

If you believe

So I paid my dues

Laced up an old pair of shoes

And found a long and lonesome road

And I strolled, and I strolled

No matter how far I got to go

Until I found a place that I can call home

Cause I don't want to be turned down

No I don't want to be turned down

No I don't want to look like a clown

When I'm standing at the pearly gates

I live my life like a Rock'n'Roll rebel

Selling little pieces of my soul to the devil

Fighting my way to the very next level

So I can play and play my days away

And though the days are long

Humming a tune or a song

Keeps my soul in stride

Crossing mountains, valleys

And fountains to easy my mind

And troubles have come

They knock me on my knees

They made me humble

I won't mumble to make my pleas

Break my heart, take my soul

So we can finally bust the mold

For the wicked

Some have said no rest will come

And I know, I know

Eternal treasure I'll soon behold

So I'll ramble on til I find my day in the sun

Here I come

Cause I don't want to be turned down

No I don't want to be turned down

No I don't want to look like a clown

When I'm standing at the pearly gates

I live my life like a Rock'n'Roll rebel

Selling little pieces of my soul to the devil

Fighting my way to the very next level

So I can play and play my days away

No I don't want to be turned down

No I don't want to be turned down

I don't want to look like a clown

When I'm standing at the pearly gates

I live my life like a Rock'n'Roll rebel

Selling little pieces of my soul to the devil

Fighting my way to the very next level

So I can play and play my days away

So I can play and play my days away

So I can play and play and play

So I can play and play my days away

So I can play and play and play

So I can play and play my days away

So I can play and play and play

So I can play and play my days away
