Gates of Heaven by The Dad Horse Experience Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2008

Oh my mother she went to heaven
And the last word that she said
Son you won't never follow me
Because you're so mean & bad
Oh but I want to go to heaven
I want to see my mama there
But when I stand before the gates of heaven
With a bucket full of sins
Lord I'm a bad ass motherfucker
But won't you please let me in

So I'm a motherless pilgrim
I miss her everywhere
I want to go to heaven
I want to see my mother there
I want to play the golden harp
I want to hear my mama sing
But when I stand before the gates of heaven
With a bucket full of sins
Lord I'm a bad ass motherfucker
But won't you please let me in
(update 2015:)
Flew in Detroit Airport
Two ears & a suit
Sent him back to Germany
His papers were no good
Oh but he wants to go to Cookeville
He wants to play at Muddy Roots
So when he stands before the gates of customs
With a bucket full of sins
Sir, he's a badd ass motherfucker
But won't you please just let him in
