about

Heaven was my first country song that really took off. I started to play this song out in 2004 with the Little Wheels Band behind me. Heaven was an instant hit that got people dancing and having a great time. The song is inspired by the place I call home...Half Moon Bay, CA and is really fun to play live. My home sits in a canyon within walking distance of the beach and harbor surrounded by pines with a secluded feel. I am blessed to live in such a natural place and in a community where there is so much music, art and appreciation for natural beauty. This version of Heaven is a remix or an early recorded version and now includes some fabulous Nashville style electric guitar courtesy of Gary Potterton of the California Cowboys.

lyrics

Heaven © 2003 Michael John Ahern

Driving down a County Road
Taking it really slow
It’s Heaven.. Heaven .. here on earth

My baby she is doing fine
She’s with me now all the time
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth

Going downtown on a Saturday night, drinking with my friends
Sunday morning I go to church, there I make amends
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth

Moonlight on the trees
I feel the evening breeze
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth

Livin in the house my daddy built, raising up my kin
Driving through the fields in September sun, picking up those kids again
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth

Now when I die… working this land
Won’t you bury me here …I’m a country man
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth
It’s Heaven Heaven here on earth
