Little Patch Of Heaven
K. D. Lang · Other Songs - K. D. Lang
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'rythings green
know what i mean
darlin it's 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
ar buzzin
real peaceful
ev'ry bluebonnet
doggone it
smells nice
even the tumblin tumbleweed
slows down to match yer speed
on my tiny half-an-acre
of paradise
ev'ry which way
buttercups sway
out on the hills,the daffpdills
are enjoyin the day
what could be better that settin to rest
on a little patch of heaven
way out west
hummin birds flutter
in utter
contentment
ev'ry darn 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 ain't 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
