Just South of Heaven

[Verse 1]

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

Never knew just what was hittin' me, gettin' me tipsy with every sip

Levi's on a dogwood branch

Yeah, she was takin' me under

I might have lost my innocence

But she was savin' my soul that summer

[Chorus]

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up goin'

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rollin'

And that summer night, shootin' star paradise

Might be all that I'm gettin'

Kissin' and sippin' that seven and seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

[Verse 2]

She might have been a fallin' 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

[Chorus]

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up goin'

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rollin'

And that summer night, shootin' star paradise

Might be all that I'm gettin'

Kissin' and sippin' that seven and seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

[Bridge]

Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line

Little white church road back through the pines

Down where the three cross-river unwinds

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

[Chorus]

I don't know much about eternity

Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up goin'

All I know is that I have already been

Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rollin'

And that summer night, shootin' star paradise

Might be all that I'm gettin'

Kissin' and sippin' that seven and seven

Somewhere just south of heaven

Oh yeah, just south of heaven

[Outro]

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
