Marcia Ball - Between Here And Kingdom Come lyrics

Out between here and kingdom come Is the place where I am from It's not close to anywhere Every call's long distance there Two lane highway, one red light Sidewalks that roll up at night It's not much but it's my home Out between here and kingdom come Big double bed hanging on chains When it start to swing the whole house shakes Drifting off to sleep underneath the moon Don't you know we've got it good That old hoot owl singing his tune Through the window comes a sweet perfume Train going by, beating like a drum Out between here and kingdom come I know why the tom cat prowls Walking all the way from town Just to watch a summer storm Laying out in my front yard It's June bug time and we're drinking wine All lit up like fireflies He's got a bottle, give me some Out between here and kingdom come Out between here and kingdom come Years are pa**ing, one by one Land of cotton, land of dreams Nothing is quite what it seems Old people's stories well they ring so true Memories piling up on you You can leave but you're never gone Out between here and kingdom come
