Heaven

Lyrics

Heaven was a girl I loved When I used to live in Texas She drove a red Ford pick-up truck An' she never paid no taxes Some folks said that she oughta be dead She'd do anything for money But I saw no lies when I looked in her eyes An' I gladly gave my money Yes, I gladly gave her my money We missed some church on Sunday Sometimes we lost Monday An' her father was a very angry man But I believe that Heaven was When she was only seven More woman than her folks could understand She answered all my questions An' I knew she was not tryin' To deny me all she had to give and take And we shared what we could until it ended So long, Heaven It was so long, Heaven I'll get by Rubber ducks an' toy balloons Always sink an' break too soon An' so it was the way with me an' Heaven But I keep the pieces hiding in my childhood Gently ridin' on a rusty pony dancin' on the moon Some folks said that she oughtta be dead She'd do anything for money But I saw no lies when I looked in her eyes An' I gladly gave my money
