[Verse 1]
Standin' in line with all the other sinners
Lookin' on the pearly white gates
Whiskey on my breath, smokin' Marlboro Red
Thinkin' 'bout all the mistakes I've made
My daddy raised me right, I took some wrong turns here and there but I lived my life
The bouncer at the door checkin' more than IDs said "You ain't gettin' in tonight"

[Chorus]
Well, it's tough to get into Heaven (Tough to get into Heaven)
If all you wanna do is raise hell (Tough to get into Heaven)
Yeah, it's tough to get into Heaven (Tough to get into Heaven)
If all you wanna do is raise hell
(Tough to get into Heaven if you raise hell)
(Tough to get into Heaven if you raise hell)
(Tough to get into Heaven if you)

[Verse 2]
Well, I never stole a thing, never lied to my mama
Never fought when I wasn't pushed first
Never missed a Sunday 'til I was 18
Figured Jesus had done his work
Yeah, there were women and years of hard livin'
But because of that I'm a better man
If me and the big man are on the outs then
I guess I understand
