Lyrics

[Chorus] When Levon sings Levon sings Gates fell open and we all got wings Better tighten up them guitar strings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings [Verse 1] Once upon a time was a drummer in a band He kept a mighty beat across a promised land He played with a smile from ear to ear Now up in heaven all the angels want to hear [Chorus When Levon sings Levon sings Gates fell open and we all got wings Better tighten up them guitar strings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings [Verse 2] Born on a farm down in Arkansas Best damn singer that you ever saw Now he's keeping time with the man upstairs When the lightning cracks that's Levon's snare The lightning cracks that's Levon's snare [Chorus] When Levon sings Levon sings Gates fell open and we all got wings Better tighten up them guitar strings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings [Verse 3] Levon was but a man it's true Working every day like me and you But when that voice begins to roar The chains break free on heaven's door The chains break free on heaven's door [Chorus] When Levon sings Levon sings Gates fell open and we all got wings Better tighten up them guitar strings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings When Levon sings Levon sings Gates fell open and we all got wings Better tighten up them guitar strings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings The cotton is high when Levon sings The sun's gonna shine when Levon sings
