There's No Back Door To Heaven Performer(s): Gene Autry
Some folks think they can sin all week If they go to church on Sunday Tell the Lord they will repent But they sin again on Monday
They'll find out Saint Peter knows The things that they've been doin' And when they reach the Pearly Gates Their soul's already ruined
There's no back door to Heaven No back door to Heaven There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
If the Devil's temptin' you With promises of riches Just say "No" and turn your back You're better off diggin' ditches
Although the work is awful hard Your hands are gettin' callussed When you reach that Judgement Day You'll be livin' in a palace
There's no back door to Heaven No back door to Heaven There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
If everyone puts in their all And watched their reputations Satan would have to up and quit Hand in his resignation
If we all keep goin' our evil way A-grumblin' and complainin' Tryin' to find that old back door There just ain't no explainin'
There's no back door to Heaven No back door to Heaven There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
There's no back door to Heaven No back door to Heaven There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
There's no back door to Heaven No back door to Heaven There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
There's no back door to Heaven No, you've gotta go in through the Pearly Gates
