In My Heaven
Blake Shelton · Original Album Series [2012]
In my heaven there ain't no lawyers,
Don't need names on dotted lines
Folks do buisiness like they oughta
A good firm handshake works just fine
We feed lawyers to the lions.
In my heave there ain't no children
Totin' loaded guns to school
Ain't no such thing as peer pressure
Bein' who you are is cool
They still teach that golden rule.
Chorus:
In my heaven
We hurt no one
No lyin', cryin' nor dyin' young
No one's lonely
No one's scared
And anyone is welcome there
In my heaven.
In my heaven I can sing like elvis
Play guitar like BB King
Slide a fast ball past Hank Aarron
Batter, batter, batter swing
I can do most anything.
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
In my heaven
We hurt no one
No lyin', cryin' nor dyin' young
No one's lonely
No one's scared
And anyone is welcome there
In my heaven.
I know that it's god's decision
What my heavens gonna be
And I ain't tellin' him his business
But if he left it up to me.
Then in my heaven,
There's football with no referees
In my heaven
There's never been an injury
In my heaven
Angels yodel when they sing
In my heaven
Fish'll bite most anything
In my heaven.
In my heaven.
In my heaven...
