Heaven on a Paper Plate


The grill is smokin'
My friends are jokin'
The kids are pokin' around in the mud
The sprinkler's broken

We got a little backyard flood
Screw-top wine
Rhythm and rhyme
My moonshine in a plastic cup

Somewhere someone's smokin' some sweet pot luck
So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Flowin' through my back gate

Don't cha wonder what the poor
Folks are doin' tonight?
We got heaven on a paper plate
The coals are glowin'

The spirits flowin'
The way it's goin' this thing
Might have to last all night
Angels vs. devils in the alleyway squirt-gun fight

Vegetarian or carnivore,
Whatever your denomination
Everybody's welcome, won't cha come
And join the congregations, yes, you
