Freedom found me

When I first heard the beatles sing

Music surrounding me

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

Praying for my soul.

In rock and roll heaven

The great gig in the sky

Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die.

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.

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 some day.

In rock and roll heaven

The great gig in the sky

Thought I was done livin' but I'll survive.

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.
