Pearly Gates Close

Pearly Gates Close

I’ve been out in the wilds since I was a child

A son born intothis lawless land

Too many sheriffs with badges want to bury me deep intothe ground

To take a life of a young gunslinger with no fair trial can’t you see!

Only the downtrodden and beggars pray for my soul

All others want to open the hang mans door to let me kick the air for all I’ve done wrong

All I hear is those pearly gates close

Forever rejected for never saying no

Living in violence shooting down church doors

No apology to pardon me

I just hear those pearly gates close

Those pearly gates close forever more

These guns I have need not explode

I’m passed out with an empty whisky bottle bidding my time

A young gunslinger running out of lives

Someone wash all this blood from my hands

My conscious cannot take the guilt anymore

There is no hope left for me

So waiting for the hang mans noose is all I am living for

All I hear is those pearly gates close

Forever rejected for never saying no

Living in violence shooting down church doors

No apology to forgive me

I just hear those pearly gates close

Those pearly gates close forever more
