Well I can't believe I'm sitting here today

 

Picking on my banjo with a big smile on my face

 

Writing new words to an old school melody

 

Hey there is no doubt that God's been good to me

 

Oh the sun is shining on down in Tennessee

 

And right now where I'm right where I want to be

 

I've never felt so loved, so peaceful and so free

 

Hey there is no doubt that God's been good to me

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

Because he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise

 

In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive

 

And everything I have, and everything I see

 

Is just another reminder that God's been good to me

 

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

This golden road's been long

 

And sometimes I have lost my way

 

I've been down some darkened detours

 

Leaning heavy on my faith

 

But where the devil had me chained

 

Lord your love done set me free

 

Hallelujah! God's been good to me

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

Because he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise

 

In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive

 

And everything I have, and everything I see

 

Is just another reminder that God's been good to me

 

Because he put me smack dab in the middle of Paradise

 

In the heart of the city where my dreams have come alive

 

And everything I have, and everything I see

 

Is just another reminder that God's been good to me
