Heaven Forgot My Name 2

Intro

Verse 1 I left a Bible in a motel room, With dust across the page Asked the Lord for one small sign, He answered me with rain I had blood on both my knuckles, Had smoke inside my coat I called out toward the heavens, But heaven never spoke

Pre-Chorus Maybe I was too far gone, Maybe I was late Maybe mercy saw my face And locked the golden gate

Chorus Heaven forgot my name, Hell still leaves a light I walk between the holy fire And the hunger of the night Heaven forgot my name, But the devil knows my face I ain’t looking for forgiveness, I’m just looking for a place

Verse 2 There’s a church outside of Laredo, Where the floorboards know my knees I begged until the candles died, Then I stood up like a disease Mama said the Lord keeps books, Of every tear we cry But I filled up half the river, And still got passed by

Pre-Chorus I ain’t asking for a halo, I ain’t asking to be clean I just need somewhere to lay This man I used to be

Chorus Heaven forgot my name, Hell still leaves a light I walk between the holy fire And the hunger of the night Heaven forgot my name, But the devil knows my face I ain’t looking for forgiveness, I’m just looking for a place

Bridge If there’s a road back home from here, It don’t run through my chest I buried all my better days, And wore the dirt like Sunday best Heaven forgot my name, Hell still leaves a light I walk between the holy fire And the hunger of the night Heaven forgot my name, But the devil knows my face I ain’t looking for forgiveness, I’m just looking for a place Heaven forgot my name, Now I don’t knock no more If grace won’t open up for me, I’ll burn beside the door

Outro I knocked once on heaven’s door. Nobody came.
