Standard (EADGBE)

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

Instrumental

 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
