lyrics

Yeah the horse I ride don’t care much for talkin’
And the friends I keep don’t care much for me
I’d have gladly sat on that rock forever
If she would have stayed there right next to me

Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey, hey, hey
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in

I’ve sold my soul for no more than a dollar
And I’ve killed for gold once or twice by now
I’d never seen a girl as sweet as her before
I guess I thought it would all work out somehow

Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
I said, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey, hey, hey
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in

They walked me down that long, long, hallway
And they sat me down in that wooden chair
I asked the man for one kind favor
“Would you tell my ma I was hit by a train somewhere?”

Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey, hey, hey
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
Just let me in

Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
I said, hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me in
Hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey, hey, hey
Hey now, old Saint Pete, just let me
Pete, just let me in

Hundred Yard Smash Bel Air, Maryland

Hundred Yard Smash is most accurately described as the synergy of balls-to-the-wall rock, McCartney-esque melody, and James Brown swagger. It's the Rolling Stones meets Michael Jackson. It's D'Angelo in Nashville. Most importantly, it's rock, pure and simple, the way it was meant to be. ... more
