You can't buy a house in heaven.


It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me awe
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you

He said, sit back down where you belong,
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
When you said to me, there

Something, something about this place
Something 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about baby, you and I

It's been two years since I let you go
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock 'n' roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday, you sang me "Heart of Gold"
With a guitar humming and no clothes
This time I'm not leaving without you, ohh-ohh

Sit back down where you belong,
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we made love the first time
When you said to me, there

Something, something about this place
Something 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah, something about baby, you and I


You and I
You, you and I
You, you and I
You, you and I
You and I
You, you and I
Oh yeah, I'd rather die
Without you and I

Come on!
Put your drinks up!

We got a whole lotta money but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven
There's only three men that I'ma serve my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Crist, yeah

Something, something about the chase
Six whole years
I'm a New York woman, born to run you down
Still want my lipstick all over your face
Something, something about just knowing when it's right
So put your drinks up for Nebraska
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you

You and I
You, you and I
Baby, I'd rather die
Without you and I
You and I
You, you and I
Nebraska, I'd rather die
Without you and I

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you

Like a skyscraper.

Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me?

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
