Between Here and Kingdom Come

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 passing, 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
