Intro

Peggy came to me in my sleep

In the middle of the night on a Friday night last week

She whispered hush child but don't be scared

I've got a few words of wisdom that I've come back to share

Chorus

 and she said, doesn't matter where you come from

It matters where you go

no one gets remembered, for the things they didn't do

I said Peggy won't you stay here for a while

We can drink whiskey, we can play cards and we can get wild

She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps

I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat

doesn't matter where you come from

It matters where you go

no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do

You could say I had a good time, you could say I had class

You could say that I was born beneath this ceiling made of glass

But I always kept an open house and always did right by my friends

When I get to Saint Peter's gate I'll tell the keeper I'm not the one who

 needs to make amends.

Cause better times are coming, better times ahead

No one gets remembered, my deathless child, and soon you will be dead.

And Peggy said.

doesn't matter where you come from

It matters where you go

no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do

Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well

Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well

Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well

Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well

Peggy sang the blues, peggy sang the blues
