Man Upstairs

I'm gon' build you a house

Gonna hang a swing on that wraparound porch

On Friday nights, I'll put a drink in your hand

While you're swinging in it, swinging in it

And I'm gon' plant you a garden

Let the summer rain do its thing and we'll watch it grow

You and me and the bluebirds too

And they're singing in it, singing in it

If the prayers I've been praying hit heaven

Maybe heaven will smile on down

If I live just right and the creek don't rise

I'll spend my whole life holding your hand

If the man upstairs is down with that

Lord knows I don't deserve

The blessings he's been giving me, starting with you

But I'm gonna do my best to love you like crazy

If that's what he'll let me do, let me do

If the prayers I've been praying hit heaven

Maybe heaven will smile on down

If I live just right and the creek don't rise

I'll spend my whole life holding your hand

If the man upstairs is down with that

The plan I got in mind

A yard, the kids, the whole nine

Down with that

If the prayers I've been praying hit heaven

Maybe heaven will smile on down

If I live just right and the creek don't rise

I'll spend my whole life holding your hand

If the man upstairs is down with that

If the man upstairs is down with that

I'm gon' build you a house

Gonna hang a swing on that wraparound porch

You'll be swinging in it, swinging in it
