| 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
|
| But there I sit, 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
|
| 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 in seven
|
| Somewhere just south of heaven
|
| 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
|
| 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 in 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 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 in 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 |
