Mama told stories from that ole King James
Said God made me a mansion and I'll get there someday
Well, I've never walked golden streets or watched angels fly
But I've seen my Heaven in a Tennessee sky
Tennessee Sky hanging over me
Every honeysuckle sunrise can bring you to your knees
Smoky Mountain Rain is Enough to make you cry
I've seen my Heaven in a Tennessee sky
Mockingbird singing in a dogwood tree
God paints October with the Falling leaves
Southern stars shining like a field of fireflies
Yeah, I've seen my Heaven in a Tennessee sky
Tennessee Sky hanging over me
Every honeysuckle sunrise can bring you to your knees
Smoky Mountain Rain's enough to make you cry
I've seen my Heaven in a Tennessee sky
When that Day comes and l they lay me in the ground
Just keep looking up when you throw your roses down
I'll be trying on my wings and learning how to fly
And headed home to heaven in a Tennessee sky
I'll be headed home to heaven in a Tennessee sky
