[Verse 1]
E A5 E
Well I've cursed at Jesus with smoke on my breath
C#m Bsus4 E A5
I gave Him every reason to leave me for dead
E A5 E
Thank God He didn't, 'cause I swear I believe
C#m Bsus4 A5 Bsus2 E A5 E
There's a place up in heaven for a God-fearing heathen like me
[Chorus]
A5 E
And I know those streets of gold
A5 E
Ain't just paved for the souls
A5 E C#m
Of the straight-walking saints that don't swear, smoke, or drink

It's for the losers and the winners

And hard-living sinners

And God-fearing heathens like me
A5 E A5 E A5
Heathens like me
[Verse 2]
E A5 E
Well I've danced with my demons when there's nowhere to run

For a place up in heaven for a God-fearing heathen like me

Ain't just paved for the souls

Heathens like me

Well I've cursed at Jesus with smoke on my breath
