Heaven Tonight

I woke up from a campfire nightmare Stared at the stars all night long That was some dream though Felt I was right there Just as real as this here song
There was a shoot-out just the night before Yeah, we lost a few good men So the General said "Take these boys out, Bury 'em deep- Luke, John and Ben"
I grabbed a shovel, Ed grabbed the J.D. And we set out to do the chore While we was digging, I told him about my lady He said "Bo- don't you marry that whore"
The blood ran through my veins It burned so red With my shovel took a swing at Ed But I guess I must have missed him Cause here I am on the ground With a pain in my head
I guess that's when the dream began I saw Ed put me in the grave with the other men Shoveled us in, packed us down Turned around and then he spat I thought "Ed, how could you do that?"
There was no sunshine- there was no rain There was a long dark cavern and a golden flame I saw my buddies standin' in a row Though they'd been shot- weren't no bullet holes I got to thinking….maybe I'm all wrong Maybe this is more than just a cowpokes song And I turned to my friends with delight "We're in Heaven, Heaven Tonight."
