Lyrics
I'll Be Damned ©2015 Steve Rapson
Is there a Heaven, is there a Hell?
Where will you go? I can't tell.
Living this life the best I can
If I don't live it right... I'll be damned
If I don't live right,
I'll be damned...
I had a dog, his name was Blue
Wherever he went, I wanna go there, too
I say, "Yes, sir"and "Thank you, ma'am"
If that ain't enough... I'll be damned
If that ain't enough... I'll be damned
A guy named Dante spelled it all out
Hell ain't no place to be joking about, oh no.
They got a different room for every kind of sin
With a torture tailored for you
You never check out once you check in
And your bill is always due.
Well you ain't gotta' tell me twice
If gonna be a sinner... you're gonna pay a price
Still, I ain't so sure that Heaven's for me
It's no, no, no... for eternity.
It's no, no, no... for eternity.
No booze, no sex, and no gambling
Just a white robe and a pair of wings, oh no.
No envy, greed, or gluttony
No wrath, pride, sloth or lust
No virgins waiting for me
When I turn into dust
There's one more thing that you oughta' know
After you die... and up you go
At the pearly gates they got an exam
If you do not pass, you'll be damned
If you do not pass, you'll be damned
Is there a Heaven, is there a Hell
Where will you go? No one can tell.
So live this life the best you can
If you live life right... you might not be damned.
If you live life right... you might not be damned.
