Heaven on Dirt

Dear Heaven Maker:

When Heaven on Earth reaches into US country music, we know that it HAS ARRIVED!!!

Here’s country singer Gord Bamford singing the song ‘Heaven on Earth.’

It’s a tin roof on a front porch
Hound dog at the screen door
How could anybody want more
Than a little piece of heaven on dirt
You roll up in your off road
Underneath that halo
Can’t hide with camo
My little piece of heaven on dirt

Coyotes howling hallelujah, sun down singing I saw see the light
Slide my rocking chair next to ya, swear I’ve never been this high
By your side, feels like I found my heaven on dirt

Chickens peckin’ in the back yard
Chicken pickin’ on a guitar
Goin’ fishin’ when it gets dark
Oh, it sounds like heaven on dirt

Coyotes howling hallelujah, sun down singing I saw see the light
Slide my rocking chair next to ya, swear I’ve never been this high
By your side, feels like I found my heaven on dirt

This old red clay
Barbed wire hideaway
Feels like a million miles away
Feels like another world
Sitting right here with you, girl

They can have their high rise
Concrete and bright lights
Long as I’m on this side
Gimmie here and you in that flannel shirt
Ain’t nothing worth
This kinda church
Its like heaven on dirt

(Can you hear that, hear that?)
Baby, can you hear that?

Coyotes howling hallelujah, sun down singing I saw see the light
Slide my rocking chair next to ya, swear I’ve never been this high
By your side, feels like I found my heaven on dirt

Enjoy,

Martin

PS:  And here’s country singer Teddy Robb singing his version of ‘Heaven on Dirt,’ with different lyrics.
