St. Peter's Gate
She said, I have seen your kind before, I've played these kinds of games
I have never been one for playing these old tired out charades
Won't you hold on momma, I'm not tryin' to cause you no more pain
I just want to introduce myself and tell you more than just my name
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk through that door
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Bartender pour me a double shot and one for my new friend
I can see her heart is just like mine and also on the mend
Here's a toast for two, yeah me and you, and everywhere we've been
All the highs and the lows, and the in-between, and the down and out and in
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk through that door
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Play that song on the radio let it wash your blues away
Let it run on down through burial ground where your sins are sure to stay
And tell those holy host of others that are still living there today
You'll see them around next time through town, when you pass through St. Peter's Gates
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before today
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk your way
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Play that guitar
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before today
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk your way
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
I have never been one for playing these old tired out charades
Won't you hold on momma, I'm not tryin' to cause you no more pain
I just want to introduce myself and tell you more than just my name
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk through that door
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Bartender pour me a double shot and one for my new friend
I can see her heart is just like mine and also on the mend
Here's a toast for two, yeah me and you, and everywhere we've been
All the highs and the lows, and the in-between, and the down and out and in
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk through that door
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Play that song on the radio let it wash your blues away
Let it run on down through burial ground where your sins are sure to stay
And tell those holy host of others that are still living there today
You'll see them around next time through town, when you pass through St. Peter's Gates
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before today
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk your way
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
Play that guitar
I can tell that you have been hurt more than once or twice before today
I could see it in your eyes as I began to walk your way
You think I have never seen all the pain a strong heart can take
I've been a witness before, Lord I've seen a woman break
And I have seen all the tears a woman's heart, can make
And I have been there enough times to know how to wipe them all away
