I TOLD MY MOM
GOODBYE
WHEN I WAS EIGHTEEN
SHE TOLD ME
BYE FOR GOOD
AT AGE SIXTY-THREE
SHE WAS AN ANGEL
RIGHT HERE ON EARTH
THERE WAS SURE
A FINE LINE BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND HER
I WENT AND MARRIED
THE WOMAN I LOVED
THREE YEARS
OF ME LATER
AND SHE'D
HAD ENOUGH
JUST ONE MORE ANGEL
I DIDN'T DESERVE
THERE WAS SURE
A FINE LINE BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND HER
FEELS LIKE
EVERYTHING I LOVE
I LOSE
GOD GIVETH
AND HE TAKES AWAY
PRAYIN'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO
BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE
PRAYIN' TODAY
SO I THINK I'LL
JUST SIT HERE
AND DRINK FOR A SPELL
'CAUSE THERE'S SURE
A FINE LINE BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND HELL
NOW I'M HEADED
NOWHERE
NINETY-NINE
MILES AN HOUR
IN A '62 DODGE
WITH THREE HUNDRED
HORSEPOWER
IF SHE HOLDS
TOGETHER
I MIGHT GET THE NERVE
TO CROSS THAT
FINE LINE BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND HER
FEELS LIKE
EVERYTHING I LOVE
I LOSE
GOD GIVETH
AND HE TAKES AWAY
PRAYIN'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO
BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE
PRAYIN' TODAY
SO MAYBE I'LL
JUST SLOW DOWN
AND THINK FOR A SPELL
'CAUSE THERE'S SURE
A FINE LINE BETWEEN
HEAVEN
AND HELL
