Let me get a plate of pears, figs, green apples, and cherries,
little oily fishes, salamis, and berries
little plate of mustard, honey on the side
feels like August with a July bride
Plain old chair, plain old yard,
little glass of whiskey, little cigar
three or four friends that are holding' the same
and a dog who'll come over when you say his name
You know, Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is within you
on nights like this, I'm sure that I agree
well, if dying gets you heaven, well there's seven little sins
to hasten up that trip through calvary
So let me get a little good fried chicken, and good cooked greens
good corn bread and some pickled beans
good maque choux, some etoufee'
it's like a good wood stove on a snowy day
Good log fire, buncha good beer
good girl beside me smiling' ear to ear
buncha kids run-in', buncha old folks
just telling old stories and a-crackin' jokes
You know when Shakespeare would talk about dying
that nobody was buying the farm
And you know, sister, that I'm certainly trying
to end this evening wrapped in your arms
Walkin in the hills, just a-holdin' hands
scrubbin' on dishes, scrubbing' on pans,
huggin' and a-kissin' and a-makin' love
better than a bucket of the finest grub
fillin' up the evening with a heap of good friends
laughin' and talking' and remembering when
huggin' and a-smilin' and a playing games
Lovin' and a-sleepin' and a-do it again
You know of all the rules, there's one that is golden
to treat others like you'd like them to treat you
well, in that case, I'm gonna treat you like your heart is unfolding
and you cannot keep your eyes off of me
So let me get a little peck on the cheek, kiss on the head
one on the lips, another on the neck
wrap your arms around me, squeeze me tight
whisper to me what you wanna do tonight
Tell me something silly, tell me something cute
tell me we should call ourselves and institute
Grab your pretty dress, I'll put on a suit
and we cn try and put some heat on the town
show them we aint messing around
yes we can bring a little heaven down
bring a little heaven down
