Story Behind The Song

God gave me the idea for the song one day while sitting at my computer. I began to write and the words seem to flow. This song is truly a gift from God and it's success will be used to give Him Glory!!!

Song Description

The story of a young man who is deeply enthralled in country music. So much so, that when his days on earth are done, he wants to be placed on the country side of heaven so that his country roots can continue there. He also wants to be the coolest angel that heaven has ever seen with his cowboy hat, rhinestone suits and holes in the knees of his jeans. He is country through and through and want to continue his life as an angel on "the country side of heaven."

Lyrics

THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN

ON THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, EVERYBODY SINGS WITH A TWANG
ON THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, IT'S IN EVERY SONG THEY SING
THEY SING HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU JESUS, WE JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU SIR, FOR THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR PLACING US HERE.

ME AND THE BAND, WE PRAY EACH NIGHT AS WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT
TAKING THE STAGE AS A COUNTRY BAND, SAINT'S AND THE AINT'S WANT TO GIVE US A HAND
BUT WHEN MY RACE IS RUN AND MY WORK IS DONE AND MY DYIN' DAY COMES NEAR
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, PLEASE LORD TAKE ME THERE.

(CHORUS)
YOU SEE, I WANNA BE THE COOLEST ANGEL, THAT HEAVEN HAS EVER REALLY SEEN
WEARING COWBOY BOOTS, MY RHINESTONE SUITS, AND HOLES IN THE KNEES OF MY JEANS
MY COWBOY HAT'S ON THE SIDE OF MY HALO, I'M STILL A CHRISTIAN, CAUSE GOD HAS SAID SO
ON THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, THAT'S WHERE I WANNA GO
YOU SEE, I'M COUNTRY HERE, I'M COUNTRY THERE, I WANNA BE COUNTRY EVERYWHERE,
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, PLEASE LORD TAKE ME THERE

VIEWS OF HEAVEN, JUST MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN MINE
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, THAT'S WHERE I WANNA SPEND MY TIME
WITH JOHNNY AND ELVIS, TAMMI AND PATSY, WE'LL PRAISE GO ALL DAY THROUGH
AND DURING EACH DAY OF SONG AND PRAISE, WE'LL DEDICATE A SONG TO YOU.

ON THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, EVERYBODY SINGS WITH A TWANG
ON THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, IT'S IN EVERY SONG THEY SING
THEY SING HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU JESUS, WE JUST WANNA PRAISE YOU SIR
FOR THE COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, THANK YOU FOR PLACING US HERE.

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE PERFECT, JUST LOVE SINGING COUNTRY DOWN HERE
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE IN HEAVEN, LORD YOU GOTTA TAKE ME THERE
'CAUSE WHEN MY WORK IS DONE, AND MY RACE IS RUN, AND MY DYIN' DAY COMES NEAR
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE IN HEAVEN, LORD YOU GOTTA TAKE ME THERE.

(CHORUS)

GOD SAYS THAT HE OWNS THE CATTLE THAT EXISTS ON A THOUSAND HILLS
HE SENT ME HERE JUST TO TATTLE, THAT COUNTRY IS A PART OF HIS WILL
ON STREETS OF GOLD, I WILL REST MY SOUL, AND I WON'T MISS A DAY DOWN HERE
IF THERE'S A COUNTRY SIDE OF HEAVEN, PLEASE LORD TAKE ME THERE.

(CHORUS)
