"A Mile South Of Heaven" lyrics

If you wanna go to Heaven, gotta go through Hell
Gonna lose your mind trying to find yourself
Even the Devil has God inside
Gotta see the darkness to know the light

A mile south of Heaven
And I saw an angel's face
In 1987, you were born to love
Hold me when I'm angry
Kiss me when I'm crying
I'm not a perfect woman
But this time I'm trying

Me and Jenny in the cab of her brand-new truck
With the music loud, she was driving drunk
We're a little too old not to give a fuck
When it burns that bright, it'll self-destruct
She had me tender as a bullet in a shadowbox
Yeah, we had our fun, then we both got caught

A mile south of Heaven
And I saw an angel's face
In 1987, you were born to love
Hold me when I'm angry
Kiss me when I'm crying
I'm not a perfect woman
But this time I'm trying

If you wanna go to Heaven, gotta go through Hell
Gonna lose your mind trying to find yourself
Even the Devil has God inside
Gotta see the darkness to know the light
Yeah, I heard it's the year all the bad guys win
But what goes up comes down again

A mile south of Heaven
And I saw an angel's face
In 1987, you were born to love
Hold me when I'm angry
Kiss me when I'm crying
I'm not a perfect woman
But this time I'm trying

I'm not a perfect woman
But this time I'm trying
