Put Me With The People

I did a lot of work I didn't want to do I made some compromises and not just a few To get some money in my hot little hand And have a home and family like I'd always planned Now life ain't over but it is over half done A man can't help but think about the world to come St. Peter don't you put me with fools like me Let me bring my guitar to eternity Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll Just count me in, I'll hold it down I just want to hear the angels play that crazy sound Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll They won't mind a bit, I'll fit right in Cause when I was a younger man I rocked just like them I played a lot of bars I had a lot of fun But thirteen years later when the gig was done The tip jar was empty and so was I I let the devil point me to the simple life Cause I was being old and alone An old man with delusions out of Rolling Stone It takes more guts than that to be a star like them St. Peter can't you sneak me into heaven's jam? Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll Just count me in, I'll hold it down I just want to hear the angels play that crazy sound Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll They won't mind a bit, I'll fit right in Cause when I was a younger man I rocked just like them St. Peter said now son how can I make this clear? Whatcha do down there is whatcha you do up here He led me to an office full of fools like me And left me there what seemed like an eternity But when the clock struck five, I heard the strangest sound I peeked over my cubicle and looked around From under every desk there came an old six string And all those fools like me began to play and sing Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll Just count me in, I'll hold it down I just want to hear the angels play that crazy sound Put me with the people that play the rock and roll With the people that play the rock and roll They won't mind a bit, I'll fit right in Cause when I was a younger man I rocked just like them I rocked just like them
