Cheap Rodeo First Night In Heaven
THEY BURIED MY BEST FRIEND TODAY
IN A GRAVE UP ON A HILL
FROM NOW ON THAT'S HIS NEW ADDRESS
BUT HE WON'T BE GETTING MAIL
IT'S HIS FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
AND I HOPE HE'S NOT AFRAID
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF HE'S DOING OK
THEY TALKED ABOUT HIS LIFE IN CHURCH
ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT HE DID
HE WOULD NEVER TELL THOSE TALES HIMSELF
WAS A HUMBLE LIFE HE LED
IT'S HIS FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
AND I KNOW HE'S GOT A SPACE
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF HE FEELS OUT OF PLACE
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
IS THERE SILENCE ALL AROUND
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
ARE YOU LOST OR ARE YOU FOUND
THEY SAY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
BUT THERE'S NO COMFORT THERE
HE NEVER WASTED A SINGLE DAY
BUT LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS FAIR
IT'S HIS FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
AND I HOPE HE KNOWS WE CARE
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF HE CAN HEAR OUR PRAYERS
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
IS THERE SILENCE ALL AROUND
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
IS IT LIKE WALKING IN YOUR SLEEP
BUT YOUR FEET DON'T REACH THE GROUND
CAN YOU TOUCH THE STARS
DO THEY LIGHT YOUR WAY
IS THE NIGHT ANY DIFFERENT
FROM THE DAY
UP IN HEAVEN NOW
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW
THE GOOD LORD
RUNS THE WORLD
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
IS THERE SILENCE ALL AROUND
HOW'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
ARE YOU LOST OR ARE YOU FOUND
IT'S YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN HEAVEN
HOPE YOU'VE GOT A CLUE
THAT YOUR FRIEND GOES ON LIVING
BUT ALWAYS MISSING YOU
