On Earth As It Is In Texas

[Verse 1]
My granddaddy was a preacher
He used to talk about the promised land
And from what he said about it
Lord, that must be where I am

'Cause I got a little piece of heaven
Right here in my own back yard
I might've gave my soul to Jesus
But Texas has my heart

[Chorus]
So, Dear Lord
Let me walk in the light of a lone star high above me
Yeah, these dirt roads are my streets of gold
And that old farmhouse stands tall and proud
Like a mansion in the country
And Lord, one thing I ask that I hope ain't sacreligious
As long as I breathe, let it be
On Earth as it is in Texas

[Verse 2]
Well, I've been all across this nation
And one thing I know to be true
We're all one big country family
Underneath the red, white, and blue
But someday I'll cross over
Yeah, God's gonna call me home
But as long as I'm in Texas
Well, I won't have far to go

[Chorus]
So, Dear Lord
Let me walk in the light of a lone star high above me
Yeah, these dirt roads are my streets of gold
And that old farmhouse stands tall and proud
Like a mansion in the country
And Lord, one thing I ask that I hope ain't sacreligious
As long as I breathe, let it be
On Earth as it is in Texas
On Earth as it is in Texas
