Lyrics

I never liked the taste of whiskey
Till 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've 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've 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 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of Heaven
Mm, yeah
She might have been a fallen angel
No, 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've 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 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of Heaven
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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've 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 7 and 7
Somewhere just south of Heaven
Oh yeah, just south of Heaven
Mm-mm
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
Mm, yeah
