When I Die

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