The Fine Line


(Anthony Smith/Rick Tiger)
I told my mom goodbye when I was eighteenShe told me bye for good at age seventy-threeShe was an angel right here on earthThere was sure a fine line between heaven and her
I went and married the woman I lovedThree years of me later she had enoughJust one more angel I didn't deserveThere was sure a fine line between heaven and her
Feels like everything I love I loseAnd God giveth and He takes awayPrayin's the right thing to doBut I don't fell like prayin' todaySo I think I'll just sit hereAnd drink for a spell'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell
Now I'm headed nowhere ninety-nine miles an hourIn a '62 Dodge with three hundred horsepowerIf she holds together I might get the nerveTo cross that fine line between heaven and her
Feels like everything I love I loseAnd God giveth and He takes awayPrayin's the right thing to do But I don't feel like prayin' todaySo maybe I'll just slow downAnd think for a spell'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell.
