Lyrics Shelby Lynne - Heaven's Only Days Down The Road

There will come a day when they gather and stand around
Revel in the glory and my body in the ground
There will be disciples and a shadow that covers me
I won’t be afraid cause my soul has been set free

100 so miles from the Mobile River
Lord I can’t have her so I got to kill her
Heaven’s only days down the road
A liquor store down on the county line
Don’t want all the land but what’s next to mine
Heaven’s only days down the road

I been insane since I was 9
Never was the cryin’ but the fightin’ kind
Oh yeah
Load up the gun full of regret
I ain’t even pulled the trigger yet
Oh yeah

Lost all the faith a man can own
My hopes are empty and so is my soul
Heaven’s only days down the road
Look at my fate in the paper now
I want to put her back but I don’t know how
Heaven’s only days down the road

Nobody wants me down here no more
Look at what I did to make then hate me for
Oh yeah
Can’t blame the whiskey or my Mammy’s ways
2 little girls are better off this way
Oh yeah.

Oh heaven’s only days down the road
Oh heaven’s only days down the road.
Oh heaven’s only days down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.
