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
