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, Levis 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’ve 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
She 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 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, road 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 and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
Oh yeah, just south of heaven
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, road 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
