South Of Heaven
Journey Between Virtue and Vice: Dale Stumbo's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Sometimes I'm a sinner, sometimes a saint
Sometimes I exhibit virtuous behavior, and at other times, I engage in wrongdoing.
Sometimes a good man, sometimes I ain't
At times, I behave as a morally upright individual, while on other occasions, I do not.
I walk the right road but I take the wrong path
I follow the correct path in life, but occasionally, I make incorrect choices.
One thing's for sure, I give 'em both all I have
Regardless, I commit myself fully to both righteous and sinful pursuits.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I find myself in a state that is not quite heavenly, yet not fully hellish.
Caught between the good Lord and the devil himself
I am caught between living a righteous life and succumbing to sinful temptations.
Where I'll end up it's too soon to tell
The ultimate destination of my life is uncertain at this point.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I exist in a state that is not completely heavenly, but not entirely hellish.
I try to live at the foot of the Cross
I strive to lead a life centered around the teachings of Christianity.
Sometimes I'm found, sometimes I get lost
There are instances when I am on the right path, and there are times when I lose my way.
If there's one thing that I surely know
One undeniable fact is that there is an ongoing spiritual conflict for control over my soul.
There's a battle being waged over my soul
I am in a state that is not fully heavenly, yet not entirely hellish.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I am torn between aligning with the divine and yielding to sinful influences.
Caught between the good Lord and the devil himself
I find myself in a spiritual struggle between God and the temptations of the devil.
Where I'll end up it's too soon to tell
The ultimate destination of my soul is still uncertain.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I exist in a state that is not completely heavenly, but not entirely hellish.
When I'm led astray I start to pray
When I deviate from the right path, I turn to prayer for guidance.
They'll come a day of, of reckoning
A day of judgment will inevitably come for my actions.
So let there be no doubt come north or south
There should be no uncertainty about whether I move towards righteousness or sin.
It's all about the right direction I'm heading in
My life's journey is all about choosing the correct direction.
Moving on I try and do my best
Continuing on my journey, I strive to do my best.
Send my bad back down and put 'em all to rest
I confront and put my past mistakes to rest.
I've come to believe if I hold my faith
I have come to believe that maintaining my faith is crucial.
I know where I'll be at the end of my race
I am confident about the destination of my soul at the end of my life's journey.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I exist in a state that is not completely heavenly, but not entirely hellish.
Caught between the good Lord and the devil himself
I am caught in a spiritual conflict between God and the devil.
Yeah, where I'll end up it's too soon to tell
The ultimate destination of my soul is still uncertain.
I'm a little south of heaven, a little north of hell
I exist in a state that is not completely heavenly, but not entirely hellish.
A little south of heaven yay yay yay
Expressing that I am in a state somewhat close to heaven but still in proximity to hell.
Ah a little north of hell
Acknowledging that I am not entirely in a hellish state but somewhat close to it.
A little south of heaven north of hell
Reiterating the idea that I am in a state somewhat close to heaven but still in proximity to hell.
