"DEAD AT THIRTY-FIVE"

{in remembrance of Stevie Ray Vaughn}


by

Alice Bateman


Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight

Thank God we have your music
Thank God we had your love
You can thank Him now in person
Now that you have gone Above

Did you give our best to Jimi?
Is John Lennon doing fine?
Has Bob Marley been reborn yet?
When will we all cross the line?

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight

Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight

And those of us left here
Are drowning in our tears
Why did you get on that deadly flight?

Stevie Ray, we'll miss you
Hope it was a painless death
Stevie Ray, we'll miss you
Hope you laughed with your last breath
