On the country side of heaven
You walk along the emerald brooks
Where the fish are always bitin'
You don't even need a hook, nah-ahHorses run across the amber
Ain't no fences way up there
Brush the stars on the midway
Of St. Peter's county fairWhoa, an angel plays a southern hymn
On a silver mandolin
Shining in the delta sunPrayers dance across the prairie
Nothin' there is ordinary
Always with the ones you loveOn the country side of heaven
Whoa
On the country side of heaven
WhoaKids are jumping off the back porch
Into a cloud up in the sky
Water turns into sweet tea
On the bayou, by and byWhoa, an angel plays a southern hymn
On a silver mandolin
Shining in the delta sunPrayers dance across the prairie
Nothin' there is ordinary
Always with the ones you loveOn the country side of heaven
Whoa,
On the country side of heaven
I wanna go (Whoa)
To the country side of heaven

The country side of heavenOn the country side of heaven
Someday that's where I'll be
Singing harmony with Jesus
And when you get there look for meOn the country side of heaven (Angels play a southern hymn)
