Strum
D-DU-UDU
You're no longer seventeen
And life it ain't no movie screen
Bullet doesn't seem so mean no more
Now you're standing at the dance
No one taught you 'bout romance
Taking second glances at the door
It's a long way home
You see the finish line
Gets further all the time
It's a long way home
You're on your own
You're all alone
St. Peter sitting at the bar
Whiskey sour, big cigar
He don't care which kind of harm you feed on
He's sitting with St. Augustine
Bleeding heart of Grenadine
He don't even know which side he's on
Now you're at the pearly gates
Reminding Peter of the stakes
He swears he's never bet the ace of hearts
You try to learn right from wrong
In church you sing the gospel song
They were stringing you along from the start
