This song is from the album BRINGING BACK THE SUNSHINE(2014) released on September 30, 2014.
Songs like this are what made me fall in love with Blake’s voice in the first place. The slow rhythm, the beautiful guitars, the soothing vocals, all these factors makes Blake’s songs so wonderful to listen to. The steels add a nice effect to the song and the guitar solos are so amazing. The lyrics are written really well and the performance by Blake compliments it.

[INTRO] F Fmaj7 Dm Bb x2
[VERSE]
F                Fmaj7            Dm                Bb
I never liked the taste of whiskey til I kissed it off of her lips
F                Fmaj7              Dm            Bb
Never knew just what was hitting me, getting me tipsy
            F            Fmaj7
But there I sit, Levi's on a dogwood branch
Dm              Bb
Yeah, she was taking me under
F                Fmaj7
I might have lost my innocence
Dm                     Bb
But she was saving my soul that summer
 
[CHORUS]
F                   C
I don't know much about eternity
          Dm               Bb
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
F                  C
All I know is that I have already been
Dm                   Bb
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
F                    C
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Dm           Bb
Might be all that I'm getting
F                     C
Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven
Bb                         F
Somewhere just south of heaven

[INSTRUMENTAL] F Fmaj7 Dm Bb x2

[VERSE]
F                      Fmaj7
She might have been a falling angel
Dm    Bb
Nah, I didn't care at all 
F             Fmaj7
I never thought a prayer could be answered
Dm                 Bb
With a whispered, sweet southern drawl
F              Fmaj7
Even now when I close my eyes
Dm                   Bb
I see her silhouette dance on the river
F                  Fmaj7
The way we spent those endless nights
Dm                Bb
That's the way I could spend forever

[CHORUS]
F                   C
I don't know much about eternity
          Dm               Bb
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
F                  C
All I know is that I have already been
Dm                   Bb
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
F                    C
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Dm           Bb
Might be all that I'm getting
F                     C
Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven
Bb                         F
Somewhere just south of heaven

[INSTRUMENTAL] F C Dm Bb x2

[BRIDGE]
F                          C
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Bb
Little white church, roll back through the pines
F                             C
Down where the three cross river unwinds
              Bb
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine

[CHORUS]
F                   C
I don't know much about eternity
          Dm               Bb
Or where somebody like me's gonna wind up going
F                  C
All I know is that I have already been
Dm                   Bb
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
F                    C
And that summer night, shooting star paradise
Dm           Bb
Might be all that I'm getting
F                     C
Kissing and sipping that seven-oh-seven
Bb                         F  Fmaj7 Dm
Somewhere just south of heaven
                Bb         F Fmaj7 Dm Bb
Oh yeah, just south of heaven

[BRIDGE]
F                          Fmaj7
Somewhere just beyond the Jericho line
Dm                   Bb
Little white church, roll back through the pines
F                     Fmaj7
Down where the three cross river unwinds
              Dm              Bb              F Fmaj7
If there's a heaven on Earth, man that'd be mine
 Dm       Bb      F Fmaj7
Yeah, that'd be mine
 Dm                    Bb         F Fmaj7 Dm Bb
Oh, just a little bit south of heaven

[INSTRUMENTAL] F C Dm Bb
