Backstreets Of Heaven - Smokey River Boys Lyrics
Backstreets Of Heaven
Had the best of “who’s who”…..drove a Mercedes car…
With all that money and fame….he never offered you his name…
But I love you darling….to me you’re a Saint….
[2] I don’t live on the highest knob hill in town….
This house is small…and its some what run down….
But I’m not looking yet…for a Hollywood address…..
On the backstreets of Heaven….I’ll be someday I guess….
[Cho] THIS BACKSTREET OF HEAVEN…WITH YOU IS HEAVENLY….
NO THE NEIGHBORS WON’T BE TALKING….NOBODY’S FIXING BLAME…
FOR YOU LEAVING YOUR BIG STAR….AND LEAVING LUXURY….
FOR THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN….AND A POOR BOY LIKE ME….
[3] Loving you special….is my claim to fame….
On a backstreet in Heaven…I offered you my name….
Not I’m Heaven bound…on a new avenue…
And the backstreets of Heaven…are heaven with you….
[Cho] THIS BACKSTREET OF HEAVEN…WITH YOU IS HEAVENLY….
NO THE NEIGHBORS WON’T BE TALKING….NOBODY’S FIXING BLAME…
FOR YOU LEAVING YOUR BIG STAR….AND LEAVING LUXURY….
FOR THIS BACKSTREET HEAVEN….AND A POOR BOY LIKE ME….
TAG: For this backstreet Heaven & a poor boy like me….
