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
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 summerI 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heavenShe might have been a fallen 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 foreverI 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heavenSomewhere 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 mineI 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heavenOh yeah, just south of heavenSomewhere 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 mineYeah, that'd be mine
Oh, just a little bit south of heaven, mmm yeah
