Open wide the pearly gates and let me come on in
Been sitting on these steps so long just soaking in my sin
Cause when you're feeling nothing you've got nowhere to begin
And this whiskey has me listening to whispers in the wind
So hey ho wicky-i-oh, wicky-i-icky-i-oh
Sing it soft and sweet to sooth the pain that lives below
Hey ho wicky-i-oh, wicky-i-icky-ay
Sing it sweet and true to ease the pain of yesterday
Cause sunrise is just around the corner
But I left my son in California
Seven years of feast give way to seven years of drought
Seven days of wondering what this dream might be about
Moments turn to minutes, days and weeks turn into years
My arms are turning heavy as this rain turns into tears
So hey ho wicky-i-oh, wicky-i-icky-i-oh
Sing it soft and sweet to sooth the pain that lives below
Hey ho wicky-i-oh, wicky-i-icky-ay
Sing it sweet and true to ease the pain of yesterday
Cause sunrise is just around the corner
But I left my son in California
Hey la la, hey la la, oh la oh la
Hey la la, hey la la, oh la oh
