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 fell 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 fell 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
