{written August 29, 1990 in remembrance of Stevie Ray Vaughn}
Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight
Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight
Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight
Thank God we have your music
Thank God we had your love
You can thank Him now in person
Now that you have gone Above
Did you give our best to Jimi?
Is John Lennon doing fine?
Has Bob Marley been reborn yet?
When will we all cross the line?
Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight
Five more souls on Heaven's rolls
Heaven must be rockin' tonight
And those of us left here
Are drowning in our tears
Why did you get on that deadly flight?
Stevie Ray, we'll miss you
Hope it was a painless death
Stevie Ray, we'll miss you
Hope you laughed with your last breath
