Country superstar Brad Paisley has released a new single from his upcoming album, Love and War. The song “Heaven South” expresses Paisley’s love for Southern culture and everything that the south is known for, such as sweet tea and beer-battered chicken.
“Heaven South” is the first track off of Love and War, which is set to release on April 21, 2017. The album includes collaborations with Mick Jagger, Timbaland, and John Fogerty. Late country icon Johnny Cash is also featured as a co-writer for the song “Gold All Over The Ground.” The project is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.
Listen to the new song below:
“Heaven South” Lyrics
Beer battered chicken, sweet iced tea
Night crawlers, crickets and a Zebco 33
Old Glory waving at you
As you’r’e driving by the court house
And it’s just another day in Heaven South
A little country angel like you’ve never seen
Took a pair of scissors to a pair of jeans
You pick her up on Friday
And you pucker up and kiss her on the mouth
And it’s just another day in Heaven South
Drive down Main Street and everybody’s there
Subwoofers booming like cannons in a square
Sign says “no cruising” but nobody cares
I got a girl to put my arm around
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
There’s a bunch of lawn chairs in the living room
There’s a UFC fight on pay per view
Gonna fry up beer steaks, got fireworks for afterwards tonight
Gotta make a little run for beer and ice
Down on Main Street and everybody’s there
Subwoofers booming like cannons in a square
Turn on the news you’d think the world ain’t got a prayer
If you turn it off and look around
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Eggs on the griddle, coffee in my cup
Farmer on a tractor, kids on a bus
Old Glory waving as they raise her up above the court house
And it’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, it’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
It’s just another day in Heaven South
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
