I heard the big city never sleeps

Hear they roll up the streets around 10 o'clock

On the other side of River Bridge

There's a spot on Powell Ridge where the asphalt stops



Sometimes when the sky is clear

We slip away and disappear



[Chorus:]

Layin' out on the hood of the car

Spellin' our names by connecting the stars

Love, runnin' as deep as the creek runs clear

You got heaven on earth down here



Sometimes I hear from an old friend

I hadn't seen since I don't know when

From out of the blue

We'll laugh and shed some tears

Catch up on the past few years in a minute or two



I know it's hard for you to believe

But there's no place, I'd rather be



[Chorus:]

Layin' out on the hood of the car

Spellin' our names by connecting the stars

Love, runnin' as deep as the creek runs clear

You got heaven on earth down here



Why be in a hurry

No need to watch the clock

Time moves so slow down here you can almost feel it start



Layin' out on the hood of the car

Spellin' our names by connecting the stars

Love, runnin' as deep as the creek runs clear



[Chorus:]

Layin' out on the hood of the car

Spellin' our names by connecting the stars

Love, runnin' as deep as the creek runs clear

You got heaven on earth down here



You got heaven on earth down here
