I was born in the southland, down there in Texas, U.S.A. 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, beaten back the darkness But 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 say, "I just 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 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 And they'll say, "How did you know?" I'll say, "I just knew, I always believed in you" Gonna walk right up to the bossman I'm gonna say Couldn't believe the scene down there It was kinda like livin' in a dream down there There wasn't too much to believe in down there Believe it or not, I always believed in you If I ever get to Heaven Which I hope I'm gonna do And they'll say, "How did you know?" I'll say, "I made it through 'cause I always believed in you" I couldn't believe the crazy scene down there It was kinda like linin' in a dream down there There wasn't too much to believe in down there Believe it or not, I always believed in, in you I always believed in you, I always believed in you I always believed in you
