It's been such a long, long time.
And the devils and angels hanging around my bed,
they don't seem to mind.
They gonna drag me into the abyss
or into a state of eternal bliss.
I got one foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
I don't really wanna live like this anymore.
This lonely nature of mine
keeps dragging me down,
I can't get up off the floor.
I'm gonna jump back into the smoke,
or stay in bed 'til a quarter of noon,
I got one foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
And when I'm dead and gone
and they run a tear through my life
What will they ever find out, what will they tell my wife?
I've been running with a wicked crowd,
An evil, faithless crowd.
I got one foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
It's been such a long, long time.
And the devils and angels hanging around my bed,
they don't seem to mind.
They gonna drag me into the abyss
or into a state of eternal bliss.
I got one foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
One foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
I got one foot in the gutter,
and one foot kicking in the door to heaven.
