Buddy Jewell - Hell Bent and Heaven Bound [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Mama was a rock, Daddy was a Rolling Stone
He spent most of his weekends raising Cain in a honkytonk
Like father, like son, I was a son-of-a-gun
Running down that dead-end road
I was dancing to the devil's rhythm
'Til Jesus rocked my soul

[Chorus]
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound
I traded in that whiskey bottle for a different kind of Crown
Hey I'm headed straight for the pearly gates
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Now you should've seen the look that night on the preacher's face
When Dad walked down the aisle while the choir sang Amazing Grace
He said, "My son and my sweet wife got something that I need"
Yeah the life we lead just might be the only Bible some people read

[Chorus]
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound
I traded in that whiskey bottle for a different kind of Crown
Hey I'm headed straight for the pearly gates
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound
I traded in that whiskey bottle for a different kind of Crown
Yeah I'm headed straight for the pearly gates
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down
I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound
Lord I was hell bent but now I'm heaven bound
