[Verse 1]
Freedom found me when I first heard The Beatles sing
Music surroundin' me, the church bells start to ring
I stole my daddy's vinyl and burned that needle out
Jimi, Janis and Morrison, a garden full of sound
I sold my car for an old guitar and set out on the road
My mama cried as she waved goodbye, prayin' for my soul

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Verse 2]
Well, I learned a long, long time ago that life is like a song
And the music goes on playing even after you are gone
But to live so fast just to die so young
I hope you found some peace
Everything I am today is what you made of me

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Gotta make it to twenty-seven before I die
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
People come and go, but deep down, I know
We'll meet again someday

[Chorus]
In rock and roll heaven, the great gig in the sky
Thought I was done livin', but I survived
In rock and roll heaven, couldn't get more high
Gotta take what you've been given and just fly

[Post-Chorus]
In rock and roll
In rock and roll
In rock and roll
