In this evocative piece, Blake Shelton reminisces about a transformative summer romance that borders the divine, yet remains distinctly earthly. The lyrics juxtapose youthful innocence with profound spiritual experiences, suggesting that moments of earthly pleasure can touch on the sublime. Through vivid imagery of natural settings and intimate encounters, Shelton explores themes of redemption and fleeting paradise, implying that such idyllic moments—though temporary—can offer glimpses into eternity. This narrative not only romanticizes rural Southern life but also delves into the complexities of human emotions and connections that resonate deeply within one's soul. #SummerRomance #SpiritualJourney
Just South Of Heaven
Lyrics
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy
But there I sit, Levi's on a dogwood branch
Yeah, she was taking me under
I might have lost my innocence
But she was saving my soul that summer
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
She might have been a fallen angel
Nah, I didn't care at all
I never thought a prayer could be answered
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
Even now when I close my eyes
I see her silhouette dance on the river
The way we spent those endless nights
That's the way I could spend forever
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the Three Cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
I don't know much about eternity
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
All I know is that I have already been
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Might be all that I'm getting
Kissing and sipping that seven and seven
Somewhere just south of heaven
Oh yeah, just south of heaven
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Little white church, roll back through the pines
Down where the Three Cross river unwinds
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
Yeah, that'd be mine
Oh, just a little bit south of heaven, mmm yeah
