Drive-By Truckers - Purgatory Line Lyrics

This ain't exactly hell, sure as hell ain't heaven
Love you like the dickens, miss you like the devil
And I guess I'll do my time
Waiting in this purgatory line

Angels here are wearing fancy new perfume
All the bread's unleavened, I guess it'll have to do till I find you
I don't know what I'm doing here or why
Waiting in this purgatory line

I ain't exactly up, I ain't gone too far down
Looking for some answers and there ain't no one around
Guess I'll just lose my mind
Waiting in this purgatory line

Jesus walked on water then where'd He get them shoes?
It just keeps getting harder to lose these walking blues
And I want you to come 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
Waiting in this purgatory line

Loving you is so easy, but waiting 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 awhile
Waiting in this purgatory line
