That Ain’t Heaven Lyrics by Joe Nester

This Is Me

2020

There I was standing at the edge
Barely hanging on about to lose my grip
But something inside told me to hold on tight
And I pushed through
But how many times must I forget
The pain that I feel every time I slip
It’s all been a lie and it’s time that
I finally faced the truth
That me and the devil we’ve been locking horns
So that ain’t heaven knocking at my door
I’m turning the lights down low, but he ain’t going away
Round for round and I’m so sore
But he keeps trying, coming back for more
I know all the things that he wants and
I’m taking them to my grave
The pain from the past is all I see
Haunted by the memories
I’m caught in a living hell and it’s burning me up inside
But they say the truth shall set you free
So why are the flames still burning me
No I don’t think I’ll ever make it out alive
'Cuz me and the devil we’ve been locking horns
So that ain’t heaven knocking at my door
I’m turning the lights down low, but he ain’t going away
Round for round and I’m so sore
But he keeps trying, coming back for more
I know all the things that he wants and
I’m taking them to my grave!
No that ain’t heaven knocking at my door
No that ain’t heaven knocking at my door
No that ain’t heaven
Knocking at my door
