This is the opening song from Pedro The Lion’s second album, Winners Never Quit. The song tells the story of two brothers: one who is righteous and stays on the narrow path to Grandma’s, and one who strays and is lost.

[Verse 1]
All the way to grandma's house
I stayed on the narrow path
But my brother wandered off
Deep into the woods
Bitten twice by rattlesnakes
Tangled up in poison oak
He fell down and broke his legs
Into a great ravine
When I arrived at grandma's house
She had made us tea and cake
She asked me where my brother was
And I said I don't know
And ate
[Verse 2]
When I get to Heaven
I'll be greeted warmly
Surrounded by the angels
As Jesus takes my hand
I'll receive a mansion
On the River Jordan
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run
I won't ever lock my doors
I will trust my neighbors
Confident that they deserve
To be there in Heaven, too
