Grace Potter and The Nocturnals Big White Gate RAVE-HD

This is a live performance of "Big White Gate" by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals which recently aired on the excellent all HD commercial free cable channel RAVE-HD. The song, written for her grandmother, is from the Nocturnals new album "This Is Somewhere" on Hollywood Records. Well worth purchasing, as there is not a bad song on it.
Big White Gate lyrics:
My body's acing from laying in this bed,
I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head.
I don't know who's paying I just know what the doctor said,
84 years of a sinning life and in the morning I'll be dead.
I had three daughters,
A new man for every one.
The only man that I ever loved,
Left me with my only son.
I was a no good mother,
I was a no good wife,
There's only one thing that I did right in this godforsaken life.
Saint Peter won't you open up the big white gate,
Cause I heard about forgiveness and I hope it ain't too late.
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king,
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing.
I sang to my children,
Before they strayed so far.
I sang for my lovers,
Or a nickel in a tip jar.
I never knew Jesus,
I never read the good book.
But on my day of dying,
I'm giving life a second look.
Saint Peter won't you open up the big white gate,
Cause I heard about forgiveness and I hope it ain't too late.
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king,
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing.
It's coming on time now,
My body's getting cold.
I've got no will I've got no prayer,
My story's all been told.
I'm ready for the land of fire,
But I'd love to see the land of gold.
So nurse bring me my guitar,
One more song before I go.
