Lyrics
GOD GRADES ON A CURVE
Written by: Dave Zobl
They?ll never be a halo hangin? over my head
They?ll never be a saint named after me
But I say my prayers before I go to bed
And Mom does laps around the rosary
I don?t lie, cheat or steal
Except in extreme emergencies
And when I do I always barter a deal
And give a little extra at the offertory
Chorus:
But all in all I?m a pretty good guy
Do the right things I always try
There are times I?ve been a schmuck
But with any kind of luck?
God grades on a curve
I?ve traveled a long road to say the least
And many a time I took the wrong direction
So every other month I find a priest
Who can take a day off for my confession
Chorus:
When I get up to the pearly gates
And they take my file off the shelf
I?ll have reason to celebrate
If they average my score with everyone else
