My Heaven Tab

by Trace Adkins


Intro:-------
                                     
Everybody has their own idea of heaven
                                
  What kind of paradise they'll see 
                 
  Pearly gates, streets of gold
                     
No getting sick, or growin old
                                 
  Sounds like a beautiful place to be
          
But as for me

                                      
My heaven is a wood frame house with a great big porch 
 
goin all the way around
                                                          
Sittin on the swing listenin to the sound of the birds singin
                                      
My heaven is a warm summer day in the back yard
                                                      
While the kids all play, flies and mosquitoes stay away 
                            
While we're eattin watermelon
                --
That's my heaven

                                           - 
You're always gonna find a few non-believers
                             
Those who stay lost in the dark
               
But I believe there is a place
                            
  Full of light 'n love and grace
                                                     -
  And I don't believe that its all that far   in my heart

                              
My heaven is a cell phone ring while I'm at work
                            
And the only thing that you have to say 
                                   
Is you miss me and get home in a hurry
                                
My heaven is the very worst day that I spent with you
                           
When you were so mad but I still knew 
                                         
Nobody would leave cause that don't happen
      
In my heaven

My heaven is where I am now on the front porch of the wood frame house 
                                      
Swingin with you just lookin around at all I've been given 
                  
And this life I'm livin
             -
Is my heaven
               
My heaven,    My heaven
