Backstory:

I got the idea from a song I wrote with a NSAI co-writer called; "Country is Who I am." I did not copy any lyrics or melody from that song or any other.                            

Lyrics:

                                                  
Slice of Heaven 
 
[Verse 1]
The rooster's crow wakes me at dawn
I grab my boots and pull em on
Feed the cows bale the hay
I find comfort in this simple way  
 
There's a hole in the old barn roof
The tractor needs fixin too
Got to hustle there's corn to shuck
Time to call up cousin Chuck

[Chorus]
I may drive an old pickup truck
Work real hard & pray I don't run outta luck
I don't need earthly possessions
This is my little slice of heaven
[Instrumental

[Verse 2] 
Well I like hittin them fishin holes
Cooler full of beer and an old dirt road
Cool breeze blowin across my face
Feel so blessed here in this place

Oh the city life just ain't for me
I'm a country boy from Tennessee
Friends and kinfolks always there
To lend a hand when life's been unfair

[Chorus]
I may drive an old pickup truck
Work real hard & pray I don't run outta luck
I don't need earthly possessions
Cause this is my little slice of heaven

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Rough hands find a soft embrace
Put a smile on any man's face
Love and grit, live in this place
Yeaaaaah; love and grit live in this place

[Verse 3]
My woman rubs my back at night
Her tender lovin makes everything alright
I give thanks each and every day
That I get to live my life this way

[Chorus]
I'll drive that old pickup truck
Work real hard & pray I don't run outta luck
I don't need earthly possessions
Cause this is my little slice of heaven

[Outro]
Yeaaaahhh; this ain't just a piece of land
It's my own little slice of heaven
