Drive-By Truckers - The Purgatory Line lyrics

This ain't exactly hell
It sure as hell ain't heaven
I love you like the dickens
Miss you like the Devil
And I guess I'll do my time
Waitin' in this purgatory line

Angels here are wearin' fancy new perfume
And all the bread's unleavened
I guess it'll have to do 'Til I find you
I don't know what I'm doin' here or why
Waitin' in this purgatory line
I ain't exactly up i ain't gone too far down
I'm looking for some answers
And there ain't no one around
I guess I'll just lose my mind
Waitin' in this purgatory line

If Jesus walked on water
Then where'd he get them shoes?
It just keeps gettin' harder


To lose these walkin' blues and I want you
To come and take me home for a while
Save me from this purgatory line

Sometimes I can laugh other times I cry
Ain't exactly funny my feet are both on fire
Guess they'll burn for a while
Waitin' in this purgatory line

Lovin' you's so easy
But waitin' here just ain't
I know I can be patient
But please, don't hesitate to cross my mind
That's all I've got for a while
Waitin' in this purgatory line
