closer to heaven
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 buzz words like awesome and dude  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 idle gossip and tassle shoes Slick politicians, give me the blues  I don't ride in limos and I can't play golf I don't own a rifle 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 Guy 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 whoever 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
