Lyrics

WASTED AT THE GATE
Bill Gaunce

Rock on Jesus, we got a way to go
You've been designated shotgun
Cause you're drivin' way too slow
Put this engine on cruise control
Take a shortcut to the light
Too late to be afraid this time
Too late to fight

Just climb on gently
Leave all your baggage my friend

All that weight on your back
will knock the train off it's the track
and leave you wasted at the gate in the end

Holy Rollin'
We been here before
Never to late to wage an
unholy war
Why worry 'bout the context
twist the meaning to suit just fine
And anyway, some don't deserve it
They'll be left behind

Can't you see?
Ain't no difference
when we're round the bend

All that weight on your back
will knock the train off it's the track
and leave you wasted at the gate in the end

You could re-write the story-
Who cares it you believe or pretend?

All that weight on your back
will knock the train off it's the track
and leave you wasted at the gate in the end

Just climb on gently
Leave all your baggage my friend

All that weight on your back
will knock the train off it's the track
and leave you wasted at the gate again in the end
That heavy monkey on your back
will push the train off it's the track
and leave you wasted at the in the end

You'll be wasted at the gate in the end


Really good and original piece with super arrangement and instrumentation. Song stays together real well from start to finish. Has a John Mellencamp feel to it.
