The closer i get to heaven

Sometimes I get a feelin'
Like there's poison in my mind
And there ain't no kind of pill
That can take that away

I gotta see that girl
I'm gonna curl
Up in her arms in her bed
And fade away

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away from the devil
Gotta get away from the world
And the closer that I get to heaven
That's the closer I get to that girl
Gotta get away
Gotta get away

Sometimes these angry feelings
Get invented by myself
And sometimes it's this mean old world
That makes me feel alone

I wanna feel some joy
Like a little boy
She can take away this pain
I'm feelin' today

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away from the devil
Gotta get away from the world
And the closer that I get to heaven
That's the closer I get to that girl
Gotta get away
Gotta get away

Sometimes I get so hurt
And betrayed by a friend
And I know it's gonna take some time
For that hurt to mend

I'm gonna see that girl
She's the best girl in the world
Curl up in her arms
For a long weekend

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away from the devil
Gotta get away from the world
And the closer that I get to heaven
That's the closer I get to that girl
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
