River of Justice
When St. Peter comes a-knocking
And says it's time for you to go
Do you think you're goin' to Heaven?
Or to Hell down below?
When you lay it on down, boy
Whacha think it's gonna be?
The river of justice gonna decide for you and me
I ain't superstitious
But I like to cover my back
Cause I know someday I gotta answer
For all the steps I've made along the track
For every heart I've shared a home with
For every one that's lived in mine
The river of justice gonna sort us out in due time
The losers and the winners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
The saints and the sinners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
That's the whole deal, boy, sink or swim
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
Night time is descending
The Devil running free
And the temptations of the night time
Sometimes get the best of me
Ya know, I'm only human
And I don't think that's a crime
And the river of justice gonna sort us out in due time
The losers and the winners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
The saints and the sinners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
That's the whole deal, boy, sink or swim
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
And says it's time for you to go
Do you think you're goin' to Heaven?
Or to Hell down below?
When you lay it on down, boy
Whacha think it's gonna be?
The river of justice gonna decide for you and me
I ain't superstitious
But I like to cover my back
Cause I know someday I gotta answer
For all the steps I've made along the track
For every heart I've shared a home with
For every one that's lived in mine
The river of justice gonna sort us out in due time
The losers and the winners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
The saints and the sinners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
That's the whole deal, boy, sink or swim
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
Night time is descending
The Devil running free
And the temptations of the night time
Sometimes get the best of me
Ya know, I'm only human
And I don't think that's a crime
And the river of justice gonna sort us out in due time
The losers and the winners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
The saints and the sinners all gotta swim
In the river of justice
It's sink or swim, sink or swim
That's the whole deal, boy, sink or swim
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
In the river of justice
