Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm 61 years old now
Lord, I never thought I'd see 30
Though I know this road is still some way to go
I can't help thinkin' on
[Verse 2]
Will I be beloved and celebrated
For my masterly climb
Or just another bum
When it comes to checkout time?
[Verse 3]
I'm fearful my chances
Of crossing over Jordan into glory
May be compromised
By the pies I've had my fingers in
[Verse 4]
Must I be condemned forever
Damned for some long-forgotten crime
Or singin' Rock of Ages with the angels
Soon after checkout time?
[Verse 5]
Yes, and when it's time to pay the bill
I'm gonna get my bag and then I will
Throw it in the first cab in line
I'm gonna make this a stay to remember
Till checkout time
[Verse 6]
Must I be condemned forever
Damned for some long-forgotten crime
Or singin' Rock of Ages with the angels
Soon after checkout time? (Checkout time)
Checkout time (Checkout time)
Checkout time (Checkout time)
Checkout time
