The Deal

Finally home
From wherever I roam
Man the days beyond the door to this house
Sure can treat you like hell
Leave your boots on the floor
And that old suitcase by the door
Clean out all the teeth and nails from your wounds
And leave 'em outside for a spell
Streets of pure gold
Ain’t what’s saving my soul
The only miracle I’ve seen is how that woman can illuminate this place
She’s wearing a smile
The kind you can’t make when you try
It’s just a natural manifestation of elation on her face
If you told me that heaven was just like tonight
Then maybe I’d start acting right
She’s wearin' a dress
From a Gulf Shore’s music fest
To be truthful I have never been the kind to enjoy the sun and the sand
We heard the bands, our shoulders red;
I couldn’t hear a word she said
But she just laughed we sang along the best we could
It was a better promised land
If you told me that heaven was just like that night
Then maybe I’d start acting right
If it’s souls you want then here’s a steal
I’ve made my turns let’s make the deal
I’ll eat the bread I’ll drink the wine
Take your forever and I’ll take mine
If you told me that heaven was just like tonight
Then maybe I would see the light
Yeah maybe I’d start acting right
If heaven were just like tonight
Then maybe I’d start acting right
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
