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
