Heaven Songtext
von Pete Bernhard

Little cowboy, he grew up in them bars
Just a-watchin′ them old folks sing and play guitar
Swore that one day he'd be underneath them lights
And he would make as much money as anybody else there that night
Ten years later, he′s just downtown in Nashville
Sellin' somethin' that ain′t for sale

Sometimes it′s heaven out here
Sometimes it's hard to tell

I know a man now who can play along with the radio
How he could do that, there ain′t no way we could know
He can sing songs that bring tears to your eyes
But there ain't nobody listenin′ in
Them bars downtown every Saturday night
He's seen some good times, y′all
But he's seen mostly, mostly rain and hail

Sometimes it's heaven out here
Sometimes it′s hard to tell
I tell you now, sometimes it′s heaven out here
Sometimes it's hard to tell


Used to rise to cloudy skies and go to work with Spider John
And he′d always play that same damn country song
We were swimmin' downwards just like a bomb
It was hard at times to tell just how far down we had gone
But we would wake up now just starin′ up somehow
From the bottom of the well

Thought that was heaven now, boys
Lookin' back, it′s hard to tell
I tell you now, thought that was heaven out there, boys
Lookin' back, it's hard to tell

She must have been now about eighteen years old
We were always in a hurry, so we headed out on the road
′Round the corners now, the car started to fishtail
And we ended up meetin′ her old friend, the guardrail
But oh, I'm pretty sure that I don′t hate her now
But I'm pretty sure she still hates herself

Sometimes it′s heaven out here
Sometimes it's hard to tell
I tell you now, sometimes it′s heaven out here
Sometimes it's hard to tell
