lyrics

Son I went knocking on heaven's door
And asked the big man what he saw
He opened the gates for a peek or two
And I just stared in awe

Now after seein' what I had seen
You know it ain't too good, this life
You better swear you'll keep your future clean
But don't go by the house tonight

Don't go by the house tonight
Don't go by the house tonight

Now I went down to the pearly gates
And the big man wasn't there
I asked St. Peter where he had gone
He said, son, you've had your share

So that means going down below
Bet you're in for a fright
But don't put your problems on your kin
And don't go by the house tonight

Don't go by the house tonight
Don't go by the house tonight

Well I begged the good man for a break
Said, I ain't the baddest guy
But I swear I'll break those pearlies in
He said, I'd like to see you try

These gates are built for holy men
Who you laughed at in spite
So don't try breaking these pearlies in
And don't go by the house tonight

Don't go by the house tonight
Don't go by the house tonight
Don't go by the house tonight
Don't go by the house tonight
