Story behind the song
Just a different perspective on a classic country favorite that my wife came up with and with some support from me, we turned it into a fun look at life in heaven. I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
VERSE
Blame it all on my prayer, I showed up, up there, and ruined your plan of despair
I felt your torment, the last to repent, I was the last one to say the Lord’s Prayer
And I saw the surprise, and the tear in your eyes when I walked into God’s domain
I glanced back at you, said Satan, we’re through and I’ll never be the same
CHORUS
'Cuz I've got friends in high places where the angels sing and the love chases
my demons away and I'll just go pray
Hey I don’t miss my old world places, think I'll rise on up for His warm embraces
Oh, I've got friends in high places
VERSE
Well I guess you were wrong I really do belong but then, you’ve been wrong before
And everything's all right I’m dressed in bright white and you’ve lost this spiritual war
Hey I didn’t foresee, heaven with caffeine, as I’m having tea with my Queen
And I’m just as high as that mountain of Zion, my Lord reigns supreme
CHORUS
'Cuz I've got friends in high places where the angels sing and the love chases
my demons away and I'll just go pray
Hey I don’t miss my old world places, think I'll rise on up for His warm embraces
Oh, I've got friends in high places
CHORUS
'Ohhhh I've got friends in high places where the angels sing and the love chases
my demons away and I'll just go pray
Hey I don’t miss my old world places, think I'll rise on up for His warm embraces
Oh, I've got friends in high places

Ohhhh, I've got friends in high places… fade out
