"To Heaven From Here" lyrics

"To Heaven From Here"

I wish I had a perfect love
Somethin' to admire 'fore I turn back to dust
And peace never comes for fools like us
You can buy it by the barrel but it's never enough
It's never enough

It's a long road Honey
To Heaven from here
Oh it's snared and bloody
And the path ain't quite clear
Oh and Lord ain't we ugly when the shadows disappear
It's a long road Honey
Oh to Heaven from here

Oh and read me my rights for my funeral verse
I've spent more time in jail than I did in church
Forward my mail o'er to Hell or worse
So I can wear the debts and the warrants I earned
The warrants I earned

It's a long road Honey
To Heaven from here
Oh it's snared and bloody
And the path ain't quite clear
Oh and Lord ain't we ugly when the shadows disappear
It's a long road Honey
Oh to Heaven from here

It's a long road Honey
To Heaven from here
Oh it's snared and bloody
And the path ain't quite clear
Oh and Lord ain't we ugly when the shadows disappear
It's a long road Honey
Oh to Heaven from here
