It's bone dry and hot here in Paradise Arkansas

Never seen cracks like the cracks in this dirt

It's Uncle Cliff on the phone, but I really think the Lord called

When he said come on down boy and I'll put you to work

It hasn't been easy letting you go

But I think I'm finally on that road



Chorus

Cause there ain't no blue '92 Cavalier

There ain't no moonlight drive-in here

There are days you don't even cross my mind

There's no one here that I don't want to see

There's no one here that don't want to see me

I ain't found it yet, but I'm convinced there's a life

Somewhere between you and Paradise



I've been hanging around with a girl here in town

Every time I look she's looking better

But I'm still not sure I can take your voice on the phone

So I wrote you this letter

It hasn't been easy letting you go,

But I think I'm finally on that road



Chorus



I'm not gonna apologize for the way I just disappeared

I couldn't bear another minute without you

Thank God I'm here



Chorus



Somewhere between you and Paradise
