Adam Craw - Hope & Paradise

I've been livin' in the city, workin' hard to get my pay
Runnin' late one night, I took a shortcut through an alleyway
Saw a shadow movin' toward me, and as I tried to get away
An old man grabbed me by the arm and said boy
Today's your lucky day

He said, "Listen to me, sonny. Let me tell you about a place"
Then a smile began to make its way across his weary face
"When you're all done chasing money, and you need a change of pace
I'll tell you just where you can get out of the race"

"It might take a while to get there, but the folks are really nice
In that peaceful state of mine, where the view is always fine
Can't quite remember how you get there, though I've been there once or twice
But I know it's somewhere between hope and paradise"

So I went drivin' in the country, found a place to clear my head
I spent most that morning thinkin' 'bout the words the old man said
That old road was rough and dusty, but when I followed where it led
I found a run-down road sign, and this is what it read

It might take a while to get there, a hundred miles to be precise
Past the old abandoned mine, across a couple county lines
Just keep right along the river, and if you've taken my advice
You'll be right there between hope and paradise

I quit workin' in the city with the people all around
And I think I finally found a place where I could settle down
Folks here may not be as pretty, but they seldom wear a frown
And you can be doggone sure they'll never let you down

It might take a while to get here, but it sure is worth the price
In this peaceful state of mind that isn't hard to find
I heard you might come and visit, now that would sure be nice
I'll be right here between hope and paradise

It might take a while to get here, but it sure is worth the price
In this peaceful state of mind that isn't hard to find
We heard you might come and visit, now that would sure be nice
We'll be right here between hope and paradise

I'll be somewhere between hope and paradise
