heaven

Little cowboy you grew up in them bars
 Just'a watchin'n them old folks sing and play guitar
 Swore that someday you'd be underneith them lights
 And he would make as much money as anyone else there that night
 Ten years later he's just downtown 'n Nashville
 Sellin' something that ain't for sale
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
 An old man now could play along with the radio
 How he could do that there ain't no way we could know
 He could sing songs and bring tears to your eyes
 But there ain't nobody listenin' in those bars downtown every saturday night
 He's seen some good times, ya'll
 But he's seen mostly, mostly rain and hail
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
 I'll tell you now
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
 Use'd to rise with cloudy skies and go to work with spider john
 And he'd always play that same damn country song
 We were swimmin' downwords just like a bomb
 And it was hard at times to tell just how far down we had gone
 But we would wake up now, just stairin' up some how
 From the bottom of the well
 Thought that was heaven now boys
 Lookin' back its hard to tell
 I'll tell you now
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
 She must have been now about eightteen years old
 We were always in a hurry so we headed out on the road
 Round the corner now the car started to fish tail
 And we ended up meetin her old friend the gaurd rail
 But I'm pretty sure that I don't hate her now
 But I'm pretty sure she still hates herself
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
 I'll tell you now
 Sometimes its heaven out here
 Sometimes its hard to tell
