Matt Nasir - Peggy Sang the Blues lyrics

[Produced By Tristan Ivemy] Peggy came to me in my sleep In the middle of the night, on a Friday night last week She whispered "Hush, child, now don't be scared I got me a few words of wisdom that I came back to share" And she said [Chorus] It doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go No one gets remembered For the things they didn't do I said "Peggy, won't you stay here for a while? "We can drink whisky, we can play cards, and we can get wild" She said "We'll play poker and we'll play for keeps I've only played angels lately and they never let me cheat" [Chorus] It doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go No one gets remembered, in this listless life For the things they didn't do And you can say I had a good start And you can say I had cla** And you can say that I was born beneath a ceiling made of gla** But I always kept an open house And yeah, I always did right by my friends And when I got to St. Peter's gate, I told the people there "I'm not the one who needs to make amends" Cause better times are coming Better times ahead And no one gets remembered, my d**hless child So don't waste too long in bed And Peggy said [Chorus] It doesn't matter where you come from It matters where you go No one gets remembered, in this listless, loveless life For the things they didn't do, no, no, no, no, no Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off While Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off While Peggy sang the blues Peggy sang the blues
