CREEK BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
Jesse Dayton

Sunday mornin' service
Used to make me nervous
Preachers sweat and shout
Jumpin' up and down
Talkin' 'bout the Devil comin' 'round
Well he said Sunday fishin' was a sin
To hold back few of men
And the Holy Ghost would know
If you loaded up your poles
And headed to the ol' fishin' hole

Aw time will only tell
On a creek between Heaven and Hell

Daddy used to warn my brother
'Bout takin' young girls as lovers
"Baby in your life, you have to take a wife
And then you go from boy to a man"
He said "Oh Mother Nature
Keeps young men in danger
See when the water's low
You're neckin' on the bank
Please boy, try to stop and think"

Aw time will only tell
On a creek between Heaven and Hell
Yep

My uncle had a problem drinkin'
They say he had a problem thinkin'
About Vietnam and all of his friends
That never made it back with him
Well every mornin' at the Quick Pack store
He'd buy a fifth or more
Spend his government check
Where he'd go and get wrecked
By the banks of the runnin' waters

Aw time will only tell
On a creek between Heaven and Hell
Yes, time will only tell
On a creek between Heaven and Hell
