Midsummer night and the stars are out
I'm thinkin' 'bout the way they sparkled in your eyes
Remember when we'd sneak out
Just for one more kiss in a sea of fireflies?
Those days I was crazy for you, baby
That summer it was all about you
And the way you were looking back at me
Your sun tanned skin, your faded jeans
I can't help but wonder if I ever cross your mind
Do you remember it like I do?
When it was heaven on dirt
The golden streets of our hometown
Where the steeple bells rang
And the word always got 'round
'Bout me and you and how we had it all
For what it's worth
Now the river still runs
And souls get saved
But hearts move on
County roads get paved
But for a moment in time it was right here on this earth
Heaven on dirt
I would've stayed forever if I could
Box wine on a blanket in the grass
Fifty-yard line, full moon overhead
An I love you I'd never take back
We were as free as that wind blows through the Midwest plains
Do you remember it like I do?
When it was heaven on dirt
The golden streets of our hometown
Where the steeple bells rang
And the word always got 'round
'Bout me and you and how we had it all
For what it's worth
Now the river still runs
And souls get saved
But hearts move on
County roads get paved
But for a moment in time it was right here on this earth
Heaven on dirt
It was heaven on dirt
When it was heaven on dirt
The golden streets of our hometown
Where the steeple bells rang
And the word always got 'round
'Bout me and you and how we had it all
For what it's worth
Now the river still runs
And souls get saved
But hearts move on
County roads get paved
But for a moment in time it was right here on this earth
Heaven on dirt
It was heaven on dirt
Heaven on dirt
It was heaven on dirt
