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 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 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 time and you can say i had class and you can say that i was born beneath a ceiling made of glass 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 i m not the one who needs to make amends cause better times are coming better times ahead and no one gets remembered my deathless child don t waste too long in bed and peggy said 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 peggy sang the blues as i drifted off while 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
