lyrics

Standing outside the gates of heaven
Waiting there years they won’t unlock this door
They won’t let me in
They won’t let me in

I’m headed back downtown
To find me that road to sin

Everyone said I had the light of the gods
Shining out my eyes like dinner light
But I know they was wrong
I know they was wrong

I don’t my waiting
I’m just sorry I was good for so long

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
I’d be fighting them lions, boys
Straight on down to the ground

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
I would tear this building down

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
And I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

Well the Judge looked at me
Said I was a cold blooded killer
He could tell by the glare that I had in my eyes
I never killed no man
I never killed no man

I just looked down one day
Found a smoking gun in my hand

My ass is all wet from sitting on clouds
Eyes can’t see the pearly gates are so bright
I never treated you unkind
I never treated you unkind

I never took anything from anybody, baby
I was just born with a criminal mind

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
I’d be fighting them lions, boys
Straight on down to the ground

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
I would tear this building down

If I had my way
I would be like Samson
And I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

I would give everything
To ladies like Delilah downtown

Come on baby you can shave my hair
My strength of would be that of a natural man

One of these nights around twelve O’clock
This old world gonna reel and rock
