Will it be my Uncle Ronnie, I barely knew him when he left
|
He was only nineteen when he crashed that red Corvette
|
Will it be my great grandmother with some cookies that she baked
|
Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
|
Will it be my goodfriend Matthew who spent his life in a chair
|
Will he coming running to me the day I get up there
|
Or that bully back in high school I told my Mama that I hate
|
Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
|
Will it be a choir of Angels with some heavenly refrain
|
Or Saint Peter like I've always heard with his big book of names
|
Will it be my old dog, Bailey, who died when I was eight
|
Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
I pray it's not my wife, my daughter or my son
|
Cause that would mean the good Lord took em before my time was done
|
Tonight, they're all sound asleep as I lie here wide awake
|
And I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
|
We're brought into this world with God only knows how many years
|
We crawl, we walk, we run, we dance
|
We cry a million tears
|
And in a flash our lives are over
|
And we're face to face with fate
|
Oh, I wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
Who's gonna greet me at the gate
|
