LAST NIGHT I DREAMED I DIED
FOUND MY OLD DOG ON THE OTHER SIDE
WALKING IN THE GREAT BEYOND
WE WERE ENJOYING THE SCENERY
STARTED FEELING THIRSTY
WHEN WE SUDDENLY CAME UPON
A TEN FOOT HIGH MARBLE WALL
JEWELED GATE, ROAD PAVED WITH GOLD .
I ASKED WHERE WE WERE
THE MAN AT THE GATE SAID, ?HEAVEN, SIR,
C?MON IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.?
AND I SAID, ?WHAT ABOUT MY FRIEND??
?SORRY, SON, BUT YOUR DOG CAN?T COME IN?!
BUT YOU CAN COME IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.?

SO WE KEPT ON AT A STEADY PACE
CAME TO ANOTHER PLACE,
MORE RUNDOWN THAN THE OTHER ONE.
SPLIT RAIL FENCE, A LITTLE OVERGROWN
BUSTED GATE AND A DIRT ROAD
A MAN SAT READING IN THE SUN.
I SAID, ?EXCUSE ME, MISTER,
COULD WE HAVE SOME WATER??
HE SAID, ?THERE?S A PUMP DOWN THERE
AND A BOWL FOR YOUR FRIEND SOMEWHERE
C?MON IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.?
I ASKED WHERE WE WERE
HE REPLIED, ?WHY, YOU?RE IN HEAVEN, SIR,
C?MON IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.?

I SAID, NOW ?WAIT A MINUTE,
DIDN?T WE WALK PAST HEAVEN
BACK DOWN THE ROAD A SPELL
FANCY PLACE, LOOKED REAL FINE
BUT WOULDN?T LET MY FRIEND INSIDE.?
HE LAUGHED AND SAID NO SON, THAT WAS HELL
I SAID, ?DON?T YOU MIND THEY LIE??
?IT DON?T BOTHER US,? HE SMILED,
?THEY CAN KEEP THE ONES
WHO LEAVE THEIR FRIENDS BEHIND.
C?MON IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.

CAUSE YOU?RE AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN SIR
AND I KNEW THAT WE REALLY WERE
WHEN HE SAID MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
YOU CAN BOTH COME IN AND MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.?
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED I DIED
FOUND MY OLD DOG ON THE OTHER SIDE
WALKING IN THE GREAT BEYOND.
