old crow medicine show - heart up in the sky lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well ol’ joe woke up at a quarter to five
cause the girls needed milkin’ or else they go dry
he’d done it for 45 years so it was no surprise
till he walked outside and seen that heart up in the sky

[verse 2]
well it was forty feet up and it was ten feet wide
it was pumping like a mad man swept up in the tide
and when his wife she came out from the inside
she fell to her knees and she almost died

[verse 3]
well it shined like a quarter in a baby’s hand
on the fourth of july near the rio grande
it shined like a diamond in a jar of sand
and it made joe’s cornfield look like it was born again

[chorus]
i put my heart up in the sky
i pushed it way up high
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue
i put my heart up in the sky
i can’t really tell you why
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue

[verse 4]
well he reached for his heart, like to have him a stroke
and he called for his wife who thought it was just some kind of joke
like when he called the preacher up cause the hen’s laid triple yokes
but up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak

[chorus]
i put my heart up in the sky
and i pushed it way up high
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue
i put my heart up in the sky
i can’t really tell you why
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue

[instrumental]

[verse 5]
well the first thing they did was get the paper on the wire
and they had their son paged, he was a contractor for hire
and they called their estranged daughter, she fell in love with a man from the ozark mire
and a bus pulled up with the entire first presbyterian choir

[bridge]
they had a doctor called in from town
he showed up in a chevy with a black bag and a frown
said there’s nothing you could do to bring that heart back down
it was a healthy heart that old joe found

[chorus]
i put my heart up in the sky
and i pushed it way up high
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue
i put my heart up in the sky
i can’t really tell you why
i just wondered what the people’d do
if they’d see my heart up there in the blue

[outro]
