[uptempo] No rain so not a lick of humidity, Daffodils and lilac trees, Fish are bitin watching from the gooseberry vines When I die, this is the scene I want on my mind, [guitar riffs energetically] [chorus] [doubletrack vocals] Cuz Heaven is my own backyard, In my mind where my girls still are, I wouldn’t have it any other way, Yeah, heaven is a sunny day, In May, (a sunny day in May…in May) [guitar upbeat solo] I never got enough, Being in this truck, Home was as much a thought, as it ever was a place, Any given year may be 50 days Ain’t the kind of job let you feel like you’re home, Cause even when you are, Back uh your mind you know [pause] [silence two bars] You’re gonna have to hit the road. and that’s hell, [spoken word] yeah.
