"Heaven In The South" lyrics

It's where I took my first breath
It's where they'll lay me down to rest
Man, I'm blessed, this place is home to me
We've got the best views around
I was lost where I've been found
On sacred ground where I'll spend eternity

We got heaven in the south
It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found
Angels walking around without any wings
It's enough to make this country boy sing
If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
We got heaven in the south

Where the honeysuckles are growing wild like a
Barefoot, wild-eyed southern child
Yeah, we pass the time and try to beat the heat
We throw down till the sun comes up
We've all drank from a Dixie cup, yeah, Dixie
I guess that's a part of me

We got heaven in the south
It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found
Angels walking around without any wings
It's enough to make this country boy sing
If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
We got heaven in the south (We got heaven in the south)

It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found
Angels walking around without any wings
It's enough to make this country boy sing
If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
We got heaven in the south
We got heaven in the south
We got heaven in the south
We got heaven in the south
