Lyrics Rodney Crowell

Rodney Crowell

Closer To Heaven

I don't like hommus, I hate long lines

Nosey neighbors and venetian blinds

Chirping news anchors alter my mood

I'm offended by buzz-words like "awesome" and "dude"

I look like a train wreck, I feel like a blob

Till you get to know me, you may think I'm a snob

But I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been

I don't eat sushi, I don't smoke grass

I don't wear pyjamas, I don't drive fast

I hate idle gossip and tassled shoes

Slick politicians, they give me the blues

I don't ride in Limos, I can't play golf

I don't own a rifle that will blow your head off

But I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been

I'm riding that way from cradle to grave

I'm learning to feel my hands on the wheel

I love my friends, I love my wife

Four little babies are the light of my life

I love Sissy Spacek, I love Guy Clark

All the biscuits and gravy I can eat with a fork

I don't wanna be famous, who gives a damn?

I just wanna be happy where ever I am

And I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been

I'm closer to heaven than I've ever been

Closer to heaven

Closer to heaven
