(Anthony Smith/Rick Tiger)



I told my mom goodbye when I was eighteen

She told me bye for good at age seventy-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 she 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

And 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

And 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.
