I told Dmy mom goodbye when A7I was eigh Dteen
She told me bye for good at A7age sixty Dthree
She was an angel Gright here on Dearth
There was sure a fine line between A7heaven and Dher
I went and married the A7woman I Dloved
Three years of me later A7she had en Dough
Just one more angel I Gdidn't deser Dve
There was sure a fine line between A7heaven and Dher
Feels like Ceverything GI love I Dlose
And God Fgiveth and GHe takes aw Day
CPrayin's the Gright thing to Ddo
But I Fdon't fell like Gprayin' tod Aay
So I Dthink I'll just sit here
And A7drink for a Dspell
'Cause there's sure a fine line between A7heaven and Dhell
[Solo]
Now I'm Dheaded nowhere ninety A7nine miles an Dhour
In a '62 Dodge with three A7hundred horse Dpower
If she holds together I Gmight get the Dnerve
To (N.C.) cross that fine line between heaven and her
Feels like Ceverything GI love I Dlose
And God Fgiveth and GHe takes aw Day
CPrayin's the Gright thing to Ddo
But I Fdon't fell like Gprayin' tod Aay
So Dmaybe I'll just slow down
And A7drink for a Dspell
'Cause there's sure a fine line between (N.C.) heaven and Dhell
