Another Place To Sin

Early in the morning before the rooster crows
I lie awake and think about my soul
All the years have gone by all the memories are worn
The further way almost seems forlorn

The preacher prayed, the devil grinned
The celestial choir sang the hymn
But the great door man won't let me in
'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin

I drained all the high hopes in every bitter brew I found
Hit the bottom of the glass for my last round
All those bygone lovers vanish from my mind
My bags are packed headin' for the other side

The preacher prayed, the devil grinned
The celestial choir sang the hymn
But the great door man won't let me in
'Cause heaven to me is just another place to sin
