Peggy came to me in my sleep
In the middle of the night on a Friday night last week
She whispered hush child but don't be scared
I've got a few words of wisdom that I've come back to share
and she said, doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
no one gets remembered, for the things they didn't do
I said Peggy won't you stay here for a while
We can drink whiskey, we can play cards and we can get wild
She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps
I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat
doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do
You could say I had a good time, you could say I had class
You could say that I was born beneath this ceiling made of glass
But I always kept an open house and always did right by my friends
When I get to Saint Peter's gate I'll tell the keeper I'm not the one who
needs to make amends.
Cause better times are coming, better times ahead
No one gets remembered, my deathless child, and soon you will be dead.
And Peggy said.
doesn't matter where you come from
It matters where you go
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
Peggy sang the blues, peggy sang the blues
