Resting, on the steps outside but I won't sleep
For three days they came all the way from Nashville, Tennessee
The gates opened and I walked right through
I looked up the sky filled up with real cowboys and a steel guitar
They were rocking the honky-tonk roof right off I saw
The moon and stars
Look at those rhinestones shine
Well, I just about lost my mind
I don't know how it happened
Oh I just don't know how
But I died and went to heaven, oh
Killed by a country band
What a ride I was killed by a country band
Well I'd never seen an angel
He was singing then he was dancing in the front row
Like a fine southern wine he was coming down the aisle
And wouldn't you know
Six foot three was looking at me
Bent down and kissed me on the cheek
I don't know how it happened
Oh I just don't know how
But I died and went to heaven, oh
Killed by a country band
What a ride I was killed by a country band
And it's OK, I feel no pain
I'm floating on a neon highway
Don't know what to tell you, I never knew
A band could play that good
I don't know how it happened
Oh I just don't know how
But I died and went to heaven, oh
Killed by a country band
And nothing can turn me around again
I was killed by a country, by a country
I was killed by a country, by a country
I was killed by a country, by a country band
