Freedom found me when I first heard
The Beatles sing
Music surroundin' me, the church bells start
to ring
I stole my daddy's vinyl
and burned that needle out
Jimi, Janis and Morrison, a garden full of sound
I sold my car for an old guitar
and set out on the road
My mama cried as she waved goodbye,
prayin' for my soul

In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die, I
In rock and roll heaven,
couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

Well, I learned a long, long time ago
that life is like a song
And the music goes on playing even after you
are gone
But to live so fast just to die so young
I hope you found some peace
Everything I am today is what you made of me

In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die, I
In rock and roll heaven,
couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

People come and go, but deep down, I know
We'll meet again someday

In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Thought I was done livin', but I survived
In rock and roll heaven,
couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

In rock and roll
In rock and roll
In rock and roll
