Halfway To Hell (Exit 333)

The wind's been whipping hard the last ten miles or so
Blowing my truck across the road
Out beyond the headlights
There's a little patch of town lights
I can just see
And it's where I need to go

Last night I stood on Congress
In South Austin
Where it's city as far as you can see
Now I'm turning off the highway
Into the dark and lonely sky
Beyond Exit 333

The locals joke it's halfway to hell
There's no way to know for sure
Might be just as well
I'm headed up the river to the only home I've ever known
I may be going to hell someday
But I'm only halfway

Splittin' stove wood for the night
Under the porch light
And a billion stars blown across the sky
With my coat zipped to my chin
And that cold wind creeping in
But I don't feel like I fell from grace tonight

They say ol' Lucifer
Was God's beautiful angel
And Yellowstone has a lake of fire
If I'm out here in this wind to pay for all my sins
I'll still be here
When it feels like paradise

The locals joke it's halfway to hell
There's one way to know for sure
I guess time will tell
I'm headed up the river to the only home I've ever known
I may be going to hell someday
But I'm only halfway

Yeah the locals joke it's halfway to hell
It's where the heavens opened
And the angel fell
I'm headed up the river to the only home I've ever known
I may be going to hell someday
But I'm only halfway
