just south of heaven

Lyrics

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 with every sip, 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, where somebody like me's gonna wind up going, all i know is that i've 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 and seven, somewhere just south of heaven, she might've been a fallen angel, naw, 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, where somebody like me's gonna wind up going, all i know is that i've 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 and seven, somewhere just south of heaven, 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, i don't know much about eternity, where somebody like me's gonna wind up going, all i know is that i've 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 and seven, somewhere just south of heaven, oh yeah, just south of heaven, 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, yeah, that'd be mine, oh, just a little bit south of heaven
