Closer To Heaven - Rodney Crowell

I don’t like humus, I hate long lines

Nosy neighbors and the nation blind

Chirpy news anchors alter my mood

I’m offended by buss words like awesome men do

I look like a train wreck, I feel like a blob

Till you get to know me, you may think I’m a snob

But I’m closer to heaven than I’ve ever been

I don’t eat sushi, I don’t smoke grass

I don’t wear pajamas, I don’t drive fast

I hate that all gossip and tassel shoes

Slick politicians, they give me the blues

I don’t ride in Limos, I don’t play golf

I don’t own a riffle that will blow your head off

But I’m closer to heaven than I’ve ever been

I’m riding that way from cradle to grave

I’m learning to feel my hands on the wheel

I love my friends, I love my wife

Four little babies are the light of my life

I love Sissy Spacek, I love God Clark

All the biscuits and gravy I can eat with a fork

I don’t wanna be famous, who gives a damn?

I just wanna be happy where ever I am

And I’m closer to heaven than I’ve ever been

I’m closer to heaven than I’ve ever been

Closer to heaven

Closer to heaven
