You Won't Find Heaven
+*You Won't Find Heaven*+
(on the road to hell)
The song she plays
has the sweetest sound
The price you pay
is comin' 'round
You might roll a seven
or a deuce as well
but you won't find Heaven
on the road to Hell
( chorus)
*Be aware
Take care
Think twice before
you toss the dice
There's a price
Be advised
You can't do wrong
and have it turn out right*
Those big, brown eyes
will reel you in
Those silky thighs
That girlish grin
The farmer's daughter
sets a tender trap
When you think you got her
youve become her catch
(chorus)
*Beware
Take care
Before you leap
take a look down there
Be wise and
take this advice
You won't find truth
in a pack of lies*
You aren't the first
Won't be the last
Her love is cursed
so watch your back
The other fools
that girl has known
have lost their souls
and their way home
(chorus)
Big, brown eyes
They reel you in
Don't be surprised when
you drown in sin
That farmer's daughter
sets a tender trap
When you think you got her
you've just rolled craps!
The farmers daughter
sets her trap
You're on her list
and that's a fact
