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 with every sip Levis 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 Where somebody like me is 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, shootin' star paradise Might be all that I'm getting Kissing and sipping that Seven and Seven Somewhere just south of heaven She might've been a falling angel Naw, 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 Where somebody like me is 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, shootin' star paradise Might be all that I'm getting Kissing and sipping 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 Where somebody like me is 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, shootin' star paradise Might be all that I'm getting Kissing and sipping 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
