Tanner Mountain

[LooknGlass]

(Vs 1)
I slapped on some Seger
and cracked open a beer
Put down my tailgate
and plopped down right there
Looked out at the mountains
and drew in the air
swingin my feet
as the wind combed my hair

(Chorus)
Heavens here
on Tanner mountain
If not it's near
and close enough for me.
Yes, heaven's here
on Tanner mountain;
and there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be

(Vs 2)
I remember the times
dad brought me up here
Where he taught me to shoot
and how to skin me a deer
Moms Sunday picnics
with her Dutch apple pie
Grandpa's war stories
that taught me true pride

(Chorus)
Heavens here
on Tanner mountain
If not it's near
and close enough for me.
Yes, heaven's here
on Tanner mountain;
and there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be

(Vs 3)
I took out my cell phone
and I called up my wife
While eying the oak tree
her name's etched in for life
My name's right below hers
with a heart drawn around
I proposed in its shade;
We made love on the ground

(Bridge)
She's on her way and can't wait to be
on this mountain named after me
Five generations have come and gone
and tonight we're workin on another one

(Chorus)
Heavens here
on Tanner mountain
If not it's near
and close enough for me.
Yes, heaven's here
on Tanner mountain;
and there's nowhere else on earth I wanna be
