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 Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh 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
