I'm not afraid that when I'm dying there'll be no one to hold my hand.
If there's a God up there, He loves me as much as my old woman can.
I don't intend to be a martyr, I don't give a damn what people say.
And if I never get to heaven, heaven don't deserve me anyway.
I've tasted life both good and evil, at times I was cruel and did not pay.
And if I never get to heaven, heaven don't deserve me anyway.
I don't know what it was I came for but I've enjoyed it up till until now.
If there's a friend who ever needs me, I'll do my best to help somehow.
I don't intend to keep no secrets, I don't give a damn what people say.
And if I never get to heaven, heaven don't deserve me anyway.
I know and I'll admit my failures, I don't give a damn what people say.
And if I never get to heaven, heaven don't deserve me anyway.
And if I never get to heaven, heaven don't deserve me anyway.
