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
