Just South of Heaven

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 summer I 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-oh-seven Somewhere just south of heaven She might have been a falling 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 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-oh-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 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-oh-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
