Heaven Never Seemed So Close
I killed my girl and most my heart last night.
A splintered kiss from an uncaged fist with a raging appetite.
Copper cocked his gun, seemed my race was almost run.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
I was kicked to my knees, I didn't beg lord I didn't plead.
He said boy before you die you got two short minutes to tell me why, your sweetheart deserved to die.
Heaven never seemed so close.
We married on the chapel on the hill.
A place where the grass grows tall and still.
With them wedding bells a'ringing and that country choir a'singing.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Then on our sunny honeymoon, all the loving and a'kissin stopped so soon.
Sir I swear you'd have done the same, when lit by lust cried another mans name.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Officer do what you will, understand I ain't repenting no deserved kill.
Not to you my mother or blushing bride, for pushing her in to that swelling tide.
Heaven never seemed so close.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up...
A splintered kiss from an uncaged fist with a raging appetite.
Copper cocked his gun, seemed my race was almost run.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
I was kicked to my knees, I didn't beg lord I didn't plead.
He said boy before you die you got two short minutes to tell me why, your sweetheart deserved to die.
Heaven never seemed so close.
We married on the chapel on the hill.
A place where the grass grows tall and still.
With them wedding bells a'ringing and that country choir a'singing.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Then on our sunny honeymoon, all the loving and a'kissin stopped so soon.
Sir I swear you'd have done the same, when lit by lust cried another mans name.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Officer do what you will, understand I ain't repenting no deserved kill.
Not to you my mother or blushing bride, for pushing her in to that swelling tide.
Heaven never seemed so close.
I said heaven never seemed so close.
Going up, going up, going up, going.
Going up, going up...
