Slice Of Heaven

(Nick Duer)

A look back at wasted time, wasted love and a wasted life. Always after what he didn't have, until he realized what he lost. This song is a lesson in life, and love.

I chased that slice of heaven
And it landed me in hell
On dangerous ground I'm treadin
But I'm underneath it's spell

I've walked this path before
And I know it leads nowhere
I know there's pain in store
Can't convince myself to care

Once it was white powder
Another time she had blue eyes
So turn the music louder
Won't nobody hear me cry

I never seen how much I had
Always wanted what I lacked
Now my story is so sad
Cause I can't get that lovin back

Had to have that slice of heaven
No matter what shape it might take
Seems I rolled that lucky seven
But now the bank's about to break

So many times I had a chance
To live inside her heart
But with the stars I had to dance
Now were miles apart

I've always been a winner
The one who's bound to lose
For heaven made me a sinner
And a singer of the blues

So if you'd only listen
To my lonely song
Ain't nothing that your missin
Worth treatin' people wrong

The grass is never sweeter
On the other side
When you realize that you need her
And she's someone else's bride

Now I'm ready to meet my maker
I'm gonna look him in the eye
Say how could you let him take her
He'll say that's what you get for thinkin heaven was somewhere in the sky
