lyrics

antlers dryin in the sun, I'm skinning squirrels in Sean Tahtinen's yard
smell of ammonia goes for miles, I just wanna know what heaven's like

I just wanna know what heaven's like
I couldn't get to heaven if I tried
I don't need to think clear to know I don't belong here
I just wanna know what heaven's like

now I'm Somewhere in Evansville, I kiss a journalist on her cheek
got me two 40s in one hand, suddenly everyone's yellin at me

"I love you when you're sober" he says
no one loves me these days
might be awake for the first time in ages
and I'll never get to heaven at this rate

now it's two years gone past, I'm back again in my own front yard
might finally know what heaven's like, but I'm not gonna try that hard

to know what heaven is like
cos I, cos I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die to find out what heaven's like
and that's the first time I've said that in my life

Ripped from the Roots Terre Haute, Indiana

Hoosier rust-folk titty babies with guitars
too happy to sing the blues but too sad to shut the fuck up
