Lyrics of At the gate

Will it be my uncle ronnie, i barely knew him when he left
He was only nineteen when he crashed that red corvette
Will it be my great grandmother with some cookies that she baked
Oh, i wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate

Will it be my goodfriend matthew who spent his life in a chair
Will he coming running to me the day i get up there
Or that bully back in high school i told my mama that i hate
Oh, i wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate

Will it be a choir of angels with some heavenly refrain
Or saint peter like i've always heard with his big book of names
Will it be my old dog, bailey, who died when i was eight
Oh, i wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate

(instrumental interlude)

I pray it's not my wife, my daughter or my son
Cause that would mean the good lord took em before my time was done
Tonight, they're all sound asleep as i lie here wide awake
And i wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate

We're brought into this world with god only knows how many years
We crawl, we walk, we run, we dance
We cry a million tears
And in a flash our lives are over
And we're face to face with fate
Oh, i wonder who's gonna greet me at the gate
Who's gonna greet me at the gate
