Ernest Tubb - Doorstep to Heaven Lyrics

Lyrics Doorstep to Heaven - Ernest Tubb




I met her fell in love and we parted
The same old story that a million tongues could tell
'Cause she turned out to be jealous hearted
And life for me and her became a living hell
Now I'm standing on the door step to heaven
'Cause she's asking me to try it once again
One step would take me into the arms of my sweet darling
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
Back in her past somewhere someone sure must have hurt her
'Cause she couldn't even trust me out of sight
She thought I lived to find excuses to desert her
It got to where I couldn't even sleep at night
Oh yes I tried oh how I tried to prove I loved her
But the eyes of jealous love are always blind
And so I knew that if I stayed around much longer
That one or both of us were sure to lose our minds
So now I'm standing on the door step to heaven
'Cause she's asking me to try it once again
One step would take me into the arms of my sweet darling
But the door of jealousy won't let me in
