Lyrics:

Dust bowl, Bible belt

Got more churches than trees

Raise me, praise me, couldn't save me

Couldn't keep me on my knees

Oh, boy, rave on down loop 289

That'll be the day you see me back

In this fool's paradise



Temptation's strong

(Salvation's gone)

I'm on my way

To hell's half acre

How will I ever

How will I ever

Get to heaven now



Throwing stones from the top of your rock

Thinking no one can see

The secrets you hide behind

Your southern hospitality

On the strip the kids get lit

So they can have a real good time

Come Sunday they can just take their pick

From the crucifix skyline



Temptation's strong

(Salvation's gone)

I'm on my way

To hell's half acre

How will I ever

How will I ever

Get to heaven now

Get to heaven now



International airport

A quarter after nine

Paris Texas, Athens Georgia's

Not what I had in mind

As I'm getting out I laugh to myself

Cause this is the only place

Where as you're getting on the plane

You see Buddy Holly's face



I hear they hate me now

Just like they hated you

Maybe when I'm dead and gone

I'm gonna get a statue too



Temptation's strong

(Salvation's gone)

I'm on my way

To hell's half acre

How will I ever

How will I ever

Get to heaven now

Get to heaven now

How will I ever
