I was born in the southland, down
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
They'll say, "How did you know,"
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
But I was running low on proof
If I ever get to heaven, which I hope
They'll say, "How did you know,"
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
But believe it or not I always believed in you
Which I hope I'm gonna do
And they say, "How did it go," I'll say
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
