I was born in the southland, down

There in Texas USA

I was never supposed to know a moment

Of unhappiness in my life

Somehow it didn't work out that way



I was born back in the sixties

I was born and raised to win

We had beaten down the darkness

Somehow the darkness slipped back in



If I ever get to heaven, which I hope

I'm gonna do

They'll say, "How did you know,"

I'll just say, "I knew"

I always believed in you



I went looking for a lover

But I didn't know the rules

I made six wrong turns and nearly died

But the 7th time you know I made it through



I went looking for the answers

I wanted nothing but truth

I went driving towards a light at a

Hundred miles an hour

But I was running low on proof



If I ever get to heaven, which I hope

I'm gonna do

They'll say, "How did you know,"

I'll just say, "I knew"

I always believed in you



Gonna walk right up to the bossman'I'm gonna say

I couldn't believe the scene down there

It was kinda like livin' in a dream sown there

There wasn't too much to believe

In down there

But believe it or not I always believed in you



If I ever get to heaven

Which I hope I'm gonna do

And they say, "How did it go," I'll say

"I made it through"

I always believed in you



I couldn't believe the scene down there

It was kinda like linin' in a dream down there

Couldn't believe much of anything down there

But believe it or not I always believed in you
