"I’m sure somewhere in heaven there’s a
corner booth
where all they do is sit and talk ‘bout what they
didn’t do;
all the places they didn’t go and the times they said
no,
just to get to where they’re sittin’, lookin’
down on the world,
she said, “Oh god, I know the type.
Always so god dlmn worried about what’s right.
Always treating life like it’s getting in the way,
been alive a hundred years but didn’t live one
day.”
She said, “There’s nothing more than now
that’s not illusion.
So I never worry much about what I’m losing.”
She said, “I love God, I hear him in my music.
And when the people dance, I can see him moving.”
I don’t think that I’ll be punished just for living
life,
so I won’t try to get it right.
I’ll let it go.
I don’t know what happens if I break a rule tonight,
or where we go when we die,
so I’ll let it go."
