stop the song
I remember all the things I did
when I was just a kid living in Heavensville
Playing cowboys and army games,
learning to dream and pray, whose shoes to fill
Then came my time,
I graduated from Heavens High and I moved along
to Heavens University
where I learned it all, down to the last degree
New house in Heavenston
two-car garages for everyone
Close to schools and shopping malls,
satellite, Jacuzzi, wall-to-wall
If we get bored,
we'll spend a weekend at Heavsney World where every day
parades and fireworks,
Kodak moments at every turn
Checking into my American Dream
So thankful for everything
But I hope I don't get stuck
in this place I love so much
Heavensboro, I can't wait
Golden streets and pearly gates
Our eternal holiday,
all the angels singing along the way
Night life in New Heaven City
luxury that never sleeps
Stretch limos, a penthouse view,
with room service champagne for two
We'll catch a show,
some world premiere
a paparazzi like the lifestyles of the rich and famous
on a diamond-studded Polaroid
We'll get a mansion, in Heavenly Hills
Movie stars, and swimmin' pools
My own amusement park
and a seasons pass on the Concorde
Heavensboro, now I see
a marble palace with a throne for me
No insurance, no robbery
The last thief at night he came for me
Heavensboro, I can't wait
Golden streets and pearly gates
Our eternal holiday,
all the angels singing along the way
I remember I was just a man
living on a planet in a galaxy
Counting blessings on a calculator,
my comfort rating, everything
Then came my time,
I had to wonder, how much more I could've done
if I wasn't told what I need
and what I want while I'm asleep
