Karaoké closest to heaven Ella Langley

They shut the door

Pulled the shade

Told us the news

Now it wasn't long 'till the pastor came

Read a red line from Luke

Granddaddy said

I'm probably damned from the damn things I've done

Then he grabbed grandma's hand and in front of everyone he told her

The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree

If it's hellfire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go but if one thing I know I believe

Honey you're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Then he said

I was noddin' off

Whiskey on my breath in a pinewood back pew

I only talked to God every now and then to thank Him for you

Guess He knew what He was doin' when He sent you my way

You were the only chance

I ever had at ever bein' saved

Yeah the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree

If it's hellfire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go but if one thing I know I believe

Honey you're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Twenty-one guns

Folded flag in her lap

One headstone blank next to one etched in black

And it reads

The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree

If it's hellfire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go but if one thing I know I believe

Honey you're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Honey you're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be
