It's where I took my first breath It's where they'll lay me down to rest Man, I'm blessed, this place is home to me We've got the best views around I was lost where I've been found On sacred ground where I'll spend eternity We got heaven in the south It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found Angels walking around without any wings It's enough to make this country boy sing If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout We got heaven in the south Where the honeysuckles are growing wild like a Barefoot, wild-eyed southern child Yeah, we pass the time and try to beat the heat We throw down till the sun comes up We've all drank from a Dixie cup, yeah, Dixie I guess that's a part of me We got heaven in the south It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found Angels walking around without any wings It's enough to make this country boy sing If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout We got heaven in the south (We got heaven in the south) It's the closest thing to paradise that I've found Angels walking around without any wings It's enough to make this country boy sing If you've been down here, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout We got heaven in the south We got heaven in the south We got heaven in the south We got heaven in the south
