Up on the hill where the tall grass grows
Talked back somewhere down an older broad
Front porch swinging 'neath the peaceful sky
Yeah that's where I wanna live when I die
Cool water creek cutting through the trees
Wild honeysuckle floating on a breeze
It's crystal clear when I close my eyes
That's where I wanna live when I die
It don't matter where they lay me down
Can nothing on earth keep me in the ground
I'll be spending my forever in paradise
That's where I wanna live when I die
The good Lord's building me a home
He'll have it ready when it's my time to go
Just across the river from my last goodbye
That's where I wanna live when I die
It don't matter where they lay me down
Can nothing on earth keep me in the ground
I'll be spending my forever in paradise
Yeah that's where I wanna live when I die
Won't be pine box bound in a limousine
Under my headstone you won't find me
Cause I'll be walking in glory by Jesus' side
That's where I wanna live when I die
That's where I wanna live when I die
That's where I wanna live when I die
