I appreciate
that this is a song I wrote about
I think about three or four months ago
and the way I was raised was pretty strict Southern Baptist which I think you guys probably
were too and and my mother's thing was if you're enjoying life at all
you're going to hell and I don't think
she ever enjoyed anything
but that's the way it is back
in Kentucky with those
I mean it's a hard life and you
I mean you can have some fun
and you can sit on the front porch
and whittled you know
I mean as long as you don't have
any bad thoughts
it's okay as long as you don't shape
it into anything
it could be but I was kind of
I guess kind of looking for loopholes
I reckon you could say and I was
I got to thinking one day
maybe there's a lesser heaven
for people like me
you know just heaven
the other side of the tracks in heaven
you know kind of kind of you know that not
the kind of shady part of heaven and and I
I wrote this for you you
know with an education
but it's called stray dogs now like
