Pretty as pie
Out where the riverbend hits up with the end of the sky.
It's left of Nebraska
And over a crest
On a little patch of heaven way out west.
Ev'rything's green-
Know what I mean?
Darlin' it's quite the sweetest sight thatcha ever done seen.
Ain't nothin' much out there-
Just life at its best,
On a little patch of heaven way out west.
Bees by the dozen
Are buzzin' real peaceful.
Ev'ry bluebonnet,
Doggone it, smells nice.
Even the tumblin' tumbleweed
Slows down to match yer speed
On my tiny half-an-acre of paradise!
Ev'ry which way,
Buttercups sway.
Out on the hill, the daffodills are enjoyin' the day.
What could be better
Than settin' to rest
On a little patch of heaven
Way out west?
Hummin' birds flutter
In utter contentment.
Ev'ry darn daisy
Feels lazy you bet.
Even the skeeters an' the fleas
Say "May,I," "Thanks"
and "Please"-
Why, it's just as close to perfect
As you can get!
Darlin', I swear-
Once you been there,
There aint a view
Beneath the blue
That could ever compare!
The only thing missin'
Is you as my guest
On a little patch of heaven
Way out west...
Why don'tcha come visit?
There's room in my nest-
On a little patch of heaven
Way out west!
