When its late at night and dark as hell Where Im going to well you know damn well I aint got nobody else to blame 'Cause you know its my fault and aint it a shame The pearly locks on the pearly gates aint just for show make no mistake Can nothing I do in this life of sin make it up enough to ever get me in So when I die I know in my life I aint done things well tried to do things right Its been a long dark road and try as I might I cant make it any closer to the golden light, the golden light Im a long lost soul meant to toil all day Inmate of my mind, with nothing to say You cant break those chains so let them be Im not the one who ever held this key Theres one thing that I know for sure No matter what I do, there is no cure For the things Ive said, the things Ive done Theres only one chance its his only son So when I die I know in my life I aint done things well tried to do things right Its been a long dark road and try as I might I cant make it any closer to the golden light Im close to the edge I lit my soul on fire So when I die I know in my life I aint done things well tried to do things right Its been a long dark road and try as I might I cant make it any closer to the golden light Im close to the edge and holding on All I can do is set my soul on fire with the golden light
