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
