Oh yes I'm proud to know for sure,
I'm goin' Home one day;
But Lord I've got just one request,
'bout where I'm gonna stay.
You see My Lord you know quite well,
I'm country through and through;
I have these big 'ole hopes and dreams,
'bout being there with you.
I know you've got a place for me,
huge mansion in the sky;
But livin' big ain't ne'er been me,
no matter how I try!
I'd like to make a bit o' trade:
my mansion, harp and crown;
For just a simple cabin placed
on outside edge of town!
I'll give up walking streets of gold,
for pathway through the woods;
As long as Heavens where I'm at,
my friends and I'll be good!
I ask for just a piece of land,
the place I'll hang my wings;
A porch with hooks up in the roof,
to hold my wife's 'ole swing!
A view of hills with grass so green,
in shade of big 'ole trees;
The smell of sap caught in the wind,
will be alright with me!
