| I killed my girl and most my heart last night
|
| A splintered kiss from an uncaged fist with a raging appetite
|
| Copper cocked his gun, seemed my race was almost run
|
| I said heaven never seemed so close
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| I was kicked to my knees, I didn’t beg lord I didn’t plead
|
| He said boy before you die you got two short minutes to tell me why,
|
| your sweetheart deserved to die
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| We married on the chapel on the hill
|
| A place where the grass grows tall and still
|
| With them wedding bells a’ringing and that country choir a’singing
|
| I said heaven never seemed so close
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Then on our sunny honeymoon, all the loving and a’kissin stopped so soon
|
| Sir I swear you’d have done the same, when lit by lust cried another mans name
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Officer do what you will, understand I ain’t repenting no deserved kill
|
| Not to you my mother or blushing bride, for pushing her in to that swelling tide
|
| Heaven never seemed so close
|
| I said heaven never seemed so close
|
| Going up, going up, going up, going
|
| Going up, going up… |
