Lord, when I die 
         F                        C 
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven 
                              C 
Where there's dirt roads for miles 
                F                       G 
And hay in the fields, and fish in the river 

               Am 
Where there's dogwood trees, and honeybees 
     G                             F 
And blue skies, and green grass forever

I gladly trade it 
       F 
For a farmhouse with acreage 
       C 
And a backyard that's shaded 
       G 
And a squeaky front-porch swing 
                G 
That's where I wanna hang my wings
