It’s a long way to heaven, it’s a long way back.
Take it from a sinner, it’s a cold hard fact.
I … and it …
It ain’t whatcha got, it’s what you’re looking for.
Round and round, up and down
The old ball rolls,
And I’m gonna miss it when I go
But it ain’t gonna miss me.
I’ve been over the moon and down on my luck,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
Been down to the bottom and all the way up,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough;
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
It ain’t what you’ve done, it’s what you’re gonna do,
It ain’t where you been, it’s where you’re going to.
I’m sorry, St. Peter, I don’t mean to complain,
But can you give me just a minute ‘fore you call my name?
Nothing worse, nothing hurts like a stone unturned,
And I’ve got candles left unburned,
And lessons left unlearned.
I’ve been over the moon and down on my luck,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
Been down to the bottom and all the way up,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough;
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
I know we got a long, long way to go,
And the side of the road is only half way home,
There might be nothing down that road
But you never know,
You never know.
Round and round, up and down
The old ball rolls
And I’m gonna miss it when I go
But it ain’t gonna miss me.
I’ve been over the moon and down on my luck,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
Been down to the bottom and all the way up,
I’ve seen a little but …
I’ve been over the moon and down on my luck,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
Been down to the bottom and all the way up,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough;
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough,
I’ve seen a little but it ain’t enough.
