The Same Way You Came In.

The Same Way You Came In.

Lyrics: American country singer and songwriter the late Max Barnes, (1935 – 2004).
Vocals: Irish country, traditional and easy listening singer, the late Big Tom McBride, (1936 – 2018).

The Same Way You Came In.

Oh we’re going out the same way we came in.
Don’t matter who you know or where you’ve been.
Makes no difference who you are, Skid Row Joe or superstar,
You’re going out the same way you came in.
We are born into this world without a thing,
And we leave it just as naked as we came.
You may drive a Coup de Ville, own a mansion on a hill,
Don’t mean nothing when Saint Peter calls your name.
Oh you’re going out the same way you came in.
Someone will notify your next of kin.
Some will weep and some will moan, some will spit upon your stone,
But you’re going out the same way you came in.
Oh they lay you out in all your fancy clothes,
And they’ll figure out just who and what you own.
Then the lawyers line their nest and your kinsfolk gets the rest,
Oh you can’t take it with you when you go.
Oh you’re going out the same way you came in.
Makes no difference who you know or where you’ve been.
Makes no difference who you are, Skid Row Joe or superstar,
You’re going out the same way you came in.
Oh you’re going out the same way you came in.
Makes no difference who you know or where you’ve been.
Makes no difference who you are, Skid Row Joe or superstar,
You’re going out the same way you came in.
Yeah, you’re going out the same way you came in.
