country side of heaven

on the country side of heaven

you walk along the emerald brooks

where the fish are always biting

you don't even need a hook no

horses run across the ember

ain't no fences way up there

theres the stars on the midway

of saint peter's county fair

oh who needs place to settle in

on a cell to madeline

shining in the dell sun

prayers dance across the prairie

nothing there is ordinary

always with the ones you love

on the country side of heaven

on the country side of heaven oh

hear the jumping off the back porch

into a crowd up in the sky

water turns into sweet tea

on the bayou bayou oh

oh who needs place to settle in

on a cell to madeline

shining in the dell sun

prayers dance across the prairie

nothing there is ordinary

always with the ones you love

on the country side of heaven oh

on the country side of heaven

i want to go

to the country side of heaven

the country side of heaven

on the country side of heaven

someday that's where i'll be

singing harmonies with jesus

when you get there look for me

on the country side of heaven oh

on the country side of heaven oh

on the country side of heaven oh

on the country side of heaven oh

on the country side of heaven

heaven heaven heaven heaven heaven
