I'm sittin' on the train bridge waitin' on sundown
River winds settin' low on that whole town
And nothin' else to do but think and toss a stone and watch it sink
Lord, I hope Heaven's a lot like my hometown
I'm walkin' down the old track balancin' on a rail
A Sunday breeze carrying church bells
A sunlight kaleidoscope and through them leaves of a scarlet hope
Lord, I hope Heaven's a lot like my hometown
Hallelujah, lift my spirit into the sky
Until I'm home again in the sweet by and by
By and by
