Little Patch of Heaven

Darlin I've been dreaming of a land That far away Where we can settle down And living life of easy both night and day Both night and day, say It's not too far from here It's a land of sweet simplicity You also back and had a listen And I'll tell you all about it I know a place, Pretty as pie, Out where the riverbend Hits up with the end of the sky. It's left of Nebraska, And over a crest, On a little patch of heaven Way out west. Ev'rything's green- Know what I mean? Darlin' it's quite the sweetest sight Thatcha ever done seen. Ain't nothin' much out there- Just life at its best, On that little patch of heaven Way out west. Bees by the dozen Are buzzin' Real peaceful. Ev'ry bluebonnet, Doggone it, Smells nice. Even the tumblin' tumbleweed Slows down to match ter speed On my tiny half-an-acre Of paradise! Ev'ry which way, Buttercups sway. Out on the hill, the daffodills Are enjoyin' the day. What could be better Than settin' to rest, On a little patch of heaven Way out west? Hummin' birds flutter In utter Contentment. Ev'ry dark daisy Feels lazy, You bet. Even the skeeters an' the fleas Say "May, I," "Thanks" And "Please"- Why, it's just as close to perfect As you can get! Darlin', I swear- Once you been there, There aint a view Beneath the blue That could ever compare! The only thing missin' Is you as my guest On that little patch of heaven Way out west... Why don'tcha come visit? There's room in my nest- On that little patch of heaven Way out west!
