I killed my girl and most my heart last night
A splintered kiss from an uncaged fist with a raging appetite
Copper cocked his gun, seemed my race was almost run
I said heaven never seemed so close
Heaven never seemed so close
I was kicked to my knees, I didn’t beg lord I didn’t plead
He said boy before you die you got two short minutes to tell me why,
your sweetheart deserved to die
Heaven never seemed so close
We married on the chapel on the hill
A place where the grass grows tall and still
With them wedding bells a’ringing and that country choir a’singing
I said heaven never seemed so close
Heaven never seemed so close
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Then on our sunny honeymoon, all the loving and a’kissin stopped so soon
Sir I swear you’d have done the same, when lit by lust cried another mans name
Heaven never seemed so close
Heaven never seemed so close
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up, going up, going
Officer do what you will, understand I ain’t repenting no deserved kill
Not to you my mother or blushing bride, for pushing her in to that swelling tide
Heaven never seemed so close
I said heaven never seemed so close
Going up, going up, going up, going
Going up, going up…
