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
