Heaven On Dirt

Mid-summer night, and the stars are out

I'm thinkin' 'bout the way they sparkled in your eyes

Remember when we'd sneak out

Just for one more kiss in a sea of fireflies

Those days, I was crazy for you, baby

That summer, it was all about you

And the way you were looking back at me

Your suntan skin, your faded jeans

I can't help but wonder if I ever cross your mind

Do you remember it like I do?

When it was heaven on dirt

The golden streets of our hometown

Where the steeple bells rang

And the word always got 'round

'Bout me and you and how we had it all

For what it's worth

Now, the river still runs

And souls get saved

But hearts move on

County roads get paved

But for a moment in time, it was right here on this earth

Heaven on dirt

I would've stayed forever if I could

Boxed wine on a blanket in the grass

Fifty-yard line full moon overhead

And I love you, I'd never take back

We were as free as that wind blows through the Midwest plains

Do you remember it like I do?

When it was heaven on dirt

The golden streets of our hometown

Where the steeple bells rang

And the word always got 'round

'Bout me and you and how we had it all

For what it's worth

Now, the river still runs

And souls get saved

But hearts move on

County roads get paved

But for a moment in time, it was right here on this earth

Heaven on dirt

It was heaven on dirt

When it was heaven on dirt

The golden streets of our hometown

Where the steeple bells rang

And the word always got 'round

'Bout me and you and how we had it all

For what it's worth

Now, the river still runs

And souls get saved

But hearts move on

County roads get paved

But for a moment in time, it was right here on this earth

Heaven on dirt

It was heaven on dirt

Heaven on dirt

It was heaven on dirt
