Told my mom goodbye
When I was 18
She told me bye for good
At age 63
She was an angel right here on earth
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her

I went and married the woman I love
Three years of me later and she?d had enough
Just one more angel I didn?t deserve
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her

Feels like everything I love I lose
God giveth and He takes away
Prayin?s ?the right thing to do
But I don?t feel like prayin? today

So I think I?ll just sit here and drink for a spell
?Cuz there?s sure a fine line between heaven and hell

Now I?m headed nowhere 99 miles an hour
In a ?62 dodge with three hundred horsepower
If she holds together I might get the nerve
To cross that fine line between heaven and her

Feels like everything I love I lose
God giveth and He takes away
Prayin?s ?the right thing to do
But I don?t feel like prayin? today

So I think I?ll just slow down and think for a spell
?Cuz there?s sure a fine line between heaven and hell
