I was born in the southland, down
There in Texas USA
I was never supposed to know a moment
Of unhappiness in my life
Somehow it didn't work out that way

I was born back in the sixties
I was born and raised to win
We had beaten down the darkness
Somehow the darkness slipped back in

If I ever get to heaven, which I hope
I'm gonna do
They'll say, "How did you know,"
I'll just say, "I knew"
I always believed in you

I went looking for a lover
But I didn't know the rules
I made six wrong turns and nearly died
But the 7th time you know I made it through

I went looking for the answers
I wanted nothing but truth
I went driving towards a light at a
Hundred miles an hour
But I was running low on proof

If I ever get to heaven, which I hope
I'm gonna do
They'll say, "How did you know,"
I'll just say, "I knew"
I always believed in you

Gonna walk right up to the bossman'I'm gonna say
I couldn't believe the scene down there
It was kinda like livin' in a dream sown there
There wasn't too much to believe
In down there
But believe it or not I always believed in you

If I ever get to heaven
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they say, "How did it go," I'll say
"I made it through"
I always believed in you

I couldn't believe the scene down there
It was kinda like linin' in a dream down there
Couldn't believe much of anything down there
But believe it or not I always believed in you
