The Bible says it's a beautiful place
Paradise behind those pearly gates
Mansion there for everyone
When our time here on Earth is done
They say you won't believe our eyes
When we see what's waitin' on the other side
Nobody knows how it's going to be
But if you ask me
I believe that heaven is a small town
Big yellow sun just a smilin' down
On cotton fields and old dirt roads
That will be my streets of gold
Children playin' on the courthouse square
Smell of cotton candy at the county fair
Oh I can almost see it now
Heaven is a small town
Morning coffee at the corner cafe
Old men talkin' about their glory days
An apple pie meltin' in your mouth
I could go on and on about
Jesus loves you painted on a water tank
Everybody knows everybodys name
It's my time for movin' on
Lord won't you take me back home where
Heaven is a small town
Big yellow sun just a shinin' down
On cotton fields and old dirt roads
That will be my streets of gold
Little white church with the gospel choir
Singin' hallelujeh with the holy fire
Oh I can almost see it now
Heaven is a small town
Yeah heaven is a peaceful place
Momma singin' amazing grace
Where I lay my burdens down
Heaven is a small town
Hmm
I can no more see it now
Heaven is a small town
