Heaven to Me
Simple Joys and Memories: Cody Bowen's Ode to Life's Treasures
Lyrics
A little chalk paint on the driveway,
A simple act of improvement, symbolized by applying chalk paint to the driveway.
with two old rockers and a front porch swing
Describing a cozy outdoor setup with two old rocking chairs and a porch swing.
And it may not look like much from the highway,
Although not impressive from a distance, it holds sentimental value as a castle for a loved one.
but it's a castle for my homecoming queen
Referring to the humble home as a castle for the speaker's "homecoming queen."
And this old truck its seen better days,
The truck, despite its worn condition, has shared many experiences with the speaker.
but I saw most of them with me.
The speaker reminisces about the shared history between them and the old truck.
Man I could tell you a different story to go with every scratch and ding
The truck carries memories, each scratch and ding telling a unique story.
And I'll probably never have a million dollars,
Expressing the likelihood of not accumulating significant wealth.
Never buy a fancy car or a Diamond ring
Acknowledging a modest lifestyle without extravagant purchases.
My street ain't paved in gold, No pearly gate at my front door
Contrasting the speaker's reality with the idea of wealth and luxury.
But you know as far as I can see
Despite material shortcomings, the speaker perceives their life akin to heaven.
Its like Heaven To me.
Reiterating that, from the speaker's perspective, life is heavenly.
Yeah you might turn up your nose at our old Tractor,
Highlighting an old tractor with flaws, emphasizing practicality over perfection.
Its been known to run a little hot and use some oil.
Acknowledging the imperfections of the tractor but valuing its history and functionality.
But I know you can't see the six year old version of me,
Reflecting on childhood memories of working with the speaker's father on the land.
Riding with Daddy clearing land and breaking soil
Recalling moments of riding with the father, bonding while tending to the land.
And yeah I still shoot my Granddad's shotgun,
Indicating the continued use of a family heirloom, the Granddad's shotgun.
And nah it ain't the newest to come out
Acknowledging the shotgun's age but appreciating its value and functionality.
But its more than enough for me running through the woods in early Spring.
Highlighting contentment with the old shotgun while navigating the woods in spring.
It'll still put a struttin' long beard on the ground.
Emphasizing the effectiveness of the shotgun in hunting.
And I'll probably never have a million dollars,
Repeating the idea of not amassing significant wealth.
Never buy a fancy car or a Diamond ring
Reiterating the choice of a modest lifestyle without extravagant purchases.
My street ain't paved in gold, No Pearly Gate at my front door
Restating the absence of opulence in the speaker's living situation.
But you know as far as I can see
Despite the lack of material wealth, the speaker perceives their life as heavenly.
Its like Heaven to me.
Reaffirming that, from the speaker's perspective, life is akin to heaven.
And I'll probably never have a million dollars,
Reiterating the likelihood of not accumulating significant wealth.
Never buy a fancy car or a Diamond ring
Reaffirming a humble lifestyle without luxurious possessions.
My street ain't paved in gold, No Pearly Gate at my front door
Restating the absence of grandeur in the speaker's living situation.
But you know as far as I can see
Despite material modesty, the speaker perceives their life as heavenly.
Its like Heaven to me.
Reaffirming that, from the speaker's perspective, life is akin to heaven.
But you know as far as ai can see
Repeating the sentiment that, as far as the speaker can see, life is heavenly.
It's like Heaven to me.
Concluding the song with the repeated assertion that life is like heaven for the speaker.
