A Piece Of Heaven - Roger Subirana

Made out on the roof of that old pawn shop Called dibs on that wrap-around on that hilltop Every other mile's a slow memory lane here That's why I'm movin' on, slower than the train here I saw her kissin' him but she's still rockin' my ballcap Lit a match and dropped it on the whole map She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth You can't hide from the grapevine in our town She's stompin' on my heart, on my stompin' grounds So I got another round turnin' it up And she's downtown burnin' it up She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth Hell on Earth I saw her kissin' him but she's still rockin' my ballcap Lit a match and dropped it on the whole map She's got my little piece of Heaven feelin' like I need to leave it Takin' all my down-home and burnin' it to pieces Hot little shotgun angel thought she would always be here It's killin' me, yeah I can't go to the bar, can't go to the church Can't ride down none of our roads that are covered in dirt 'Cause they're covered in her Yeah, she's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth Yeah, it's Hell on Earth She's turnin' my little piece of Heaven into Hell on Earth

Tell me where Where is it written What it is I'm meant to be? That I can't dare It all began the day I found That from my window I could only see A piece of sky I stepped outside and looked around I never dreamed it was so wide Or even half as high The time had come Papa, can you hear me? To try my wings Papa, are you near me? And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall I felt the most Papa, can you see me? Amazing things Can you understand me? The things you can't imagine If you've never flown at all Though it's safer to stay on the ground Sometimes where danger lies There the sweetest of pleasures are found No matter where I go There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve But there will also be More to question yet more to believe Oh tell me where Where is the someone who will turn to look at me And want to share My every sweet-imagined possibility The more I live, the more I learn The more I learn, the more I realize The less I know Each step I take Papa, I've a voice now! Each page I turn Papa, I've a choice now! Each mile I travel only means The more I have to go What's wrong with wanting more? If you can fly, then soar! With all there is, why settle for Just a piece of sky? Papa, I can hear you Papa, I can see you Papa, I can feel you Papa, watch me fly!
