Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Heaven Don't Deserve Me [#]

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 'til 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
