Between Here and Kingdom Come

Out between here and kingdom come

Is the place where I am from

It's not close to anywhere

Every call's long distance there

Two lane highway, one red light

Sidewalks that roll up at night

It's not much but it's my home

Out between here and kingdom come

Big double bed hanging on chains

When it start to swing the whole house shakes

Drifting off to sleep underneath the moon

Don't you know we've got it good

That old hoot owl singing his tune

Through the window comes a sweet perfume

Train going by, beating like a drum

Out between here and kingdom comeI know why the tom cat prowls

Walking all the way from town

Just to watch a summer storm

Laying out in my front yard

It's June bug time and we're drinking wine

All lit up like fireflies

He's got a bottle, give me some

Out between here and kingdom come

Out between here and kingdom come

Years are passing, one by one

Land of cotton, land of dreams

Nothing is quite what it seems

Old people's stories well they ring so true

Memories piling up on you

You can leave but you're never gone

Out between here and kingdom come
