You should stay real close to Jesus,
Keep that bottle at your hand, my man,
Find your way back to my bed again,
Sing me like a Bible hymn.
We should go back to Arkansas
Trade this body for the can of gin,
Like a little peace of heaven,
No more candle in the wind.

You should come back to our place, baby,
Don't be afraid of our love,
On the second floor, darling,
In a second flood, hurry up,
'Cause down in Arkansas the stores are all closed,
The kids in their hoodies, they dance super slow,
We're white hot forever and only God knows.

You should stay real close to Jesus,
Keep that bottle at your hand, my man,
Find your way back to my bed again,
Sing me like a Bible hymn.
We should go back to Arkansas
Trade this body for the can of gin,
Like a little peace of heaven,
No more candle in the wind.

We'll be white hot forever,
White hot forever,
White hot forever,
And ever and ever, amen!

Could I come back to the ranch, baby?
I had to get away for a while
Just to rest my nerves, darling,
Can I make you laugh with a smile?
You know when you chose me,
I was nothing but inordinary,
And how the wind's blowing
Reminding me you of what you know.

You should stay real close to Jesus,
Keep that bottle at your hand, my man,
Find your way back to my bed again,
Sing me like a Bible hymn.
We should go back to Arkansas
Trade this body for the can of gin,
Like a little peace of heaven,
No more candle in the wind.

We'll be white hot forever,
White hot forever,
White hot forever,
And ever and ever, amen!
White hot forever,
White hot forever,
White hot forever,
And ever and ever, amen!

You should stay real close to Jesus,
If you don't pray, you'll never learn,
You know what I'm sayin'?
Keep that bottle at your hand, my man,
Find your way back to my bed again,
Sing me like a Bible hymn.
We should go back to Arkansas,
Trade this body for the can of gin,
Like a little peace of heaven,
No more candle in the wind,
White hot forever!
