Lori McKenna - Not In This Live lyrics

NOT IN THIS LIFE (recorded live at Fox Run Concerts, per liner notes) By Lori McKenna It's cold for early June but the sun is rising fast There's a dew up on the quiet hill Where he lays in the gra** Staring up at Heaven's gates To see if he can see in Jesus' eyes The woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep As he asks for resolution and prays his soul to keep A man of God in love can't touch A man of God, temptation, sunrise But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to Run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't Make sweet love to you so right It just means not in this life This has always been the path for him Since the age of nine or ten And if only he remembered now The things he knew back then It seemed God had a plan for him A clear and decisive role But he never would have seen her If she hadn't come to pray If she didn't need forgiveness He'd still be a holy man today If she wasn't so damn beautiful If her eyes didn't bleed into his soul But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to Run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't Make sweet love to you so right It just means not in this life Dear God, I am sorry for my sins Dear God, I'm for the situation I'm in He'll an*lyze the burning Measure the tremble in his chest Falls behind on duties And he's sleeping less and less He doesn't pay attention in church He doesn't answer to his name when people call He's got himself this apple And it's looking so damn good Oh, but just because he can bite it - It doesn't mean he should He lets her know his feelings Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to Run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't Make sweet love to you so right Oh, It just means not in this life I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I'm sorry for my sins I am sorry for my sins Yeah, I am sorry for my sins... But it doesn't mean I don't love you It doesn't mean I don't care It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to Run my fingers through your hair It doesn't mean I wouldn't Make sweet love to you so right It just means not in this... Just means not in this life Just means not in this life.... I am sorry for my I am sorry for my
