There's a red clay bank round the fishing hole A catfish pulling on my best cane pole Bullfrogs humming my old dog sitting by me And my grandpa he's up at dawn Hands in the soil just working that farm He thanks the Lord as he drops another seed It's my little piece of heaven on God's green earth Where the sun shines down on a hard days work In this here town everybody knows your name It's just a dot on the map, but it's home to me Yeah I'm smack dab right where I outta be And when my day comes you can lay me in that dirt On God's green earth Now the homecoming queen I call her my wife She's sweet on the lips like peach moonshine And one of these days we'll add to the family tree And Father O'Donnell at the church where we go His sermons on Sunday solid as oak We all join in as the choir starts to sing It's my little piece of heaven on God's green earth Where the sun shines down on a hard days work In this here town everybody know your name It's just a dot on the map, but it's home to me Yeah I'm smack dab right where I outta be And when my day comes you can lay me in that dirt On God's green earth On God's green earth It's my little piece of Heaven on God's green earth Where the sun shines down on a hard days work It's my little piece of heaven on God's green earth Where the sun shines down... It's my little piece of Heaven on God's green earth Where the sun shines down on a hard days work In this here town everybody knows your name It's just a dot on the map, but it's home to me Yeah I'm smack dab right where I outta be And when my day comes you can lay me in that dirt Oh when my day comes just lay me in that dirt On God's green earth On God's green earth On God's green earth God's green earth
