Just South of Heaven

I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips

Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy

But there I sit, LevI's on a dogwood branch

Yeah, she was taking me under

I might have lost my innocence

But she was saving my soul that summer

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling

And that summer night, shooting star paradise

Might be all that I'm getting

Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

♪

She might have been a falling angel

Nah, I didn't care at all

I never thought a prayer could be answered

With a whispered, sweet southern drawl

Even now when I close my eyes

I see her silhouette dance on the river

The way we spent those endless nights

That's the way I could spend forever

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling

And that summer night, shooting star paradise

Might be all that I'm getting

Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

♪

Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line

Little white church, roll back through the pines

Down where the three cross river unwinds

If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling

And that summer night, shooting star paradise

Might be all that I'm getting

Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

Oh yeah, just south of heaven

♪

Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line

Little white church, roll back through the pines

Down where the three cross river unwinds

If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

Yeah, that'd be mine

Oh, just a little bit south of heaven
