Some people dream of an office
High up in the sky
With a perfect view of the city lights
Airplanes flying by
They want a limo parked on Easy Street
At their beck and call
Stocks, bonds, securities
Brother, they want it all

But when the pearly gates
Swing wide for me
I'll know that I've arrived
I've got a feeling this country boy
Is gonna love that city life

If I'm not sitting by the Tree of Life
Or sailing on the Crystal Sea
Taking a stroll down the streets of gold
To a mansion built for me
If I'm not kneeling before the Throne
I won't be hard to find
Just look for me, this is where I'll be
Sitting on Cloud Nine

If I live in a shack or a palace
It's all the same to me
As long as Jesus is in my life
I live in luxury
Just to know that I can call on Him
And hold His loving hand
All the wealth of this universe
Is mine at His command
And when the pearly gates
Swing wide for me
I'll know that I've arrived
I've got a feeling this country boy
Is gonna love that city life

If I'm not sitting by the Tree of Life
Or sailing on the Crystal Sea
Taking a stroll down the streets of gold
To a mansion built for me
If I'm not kneeling before the Throne
I won't be hard to find
Just look for me, this is where I'll be
Sitting on Cloud Nine

If I'm not sitting by the Tree of Life
Or sailing on the Crystal Sea
Taking a stroll down the streets of gold
To a mansion built for me
If I'm not kneeling before the Throne
I won't be hard to find
Just look for me, this is where I'll be
Sitting on Cloud Nine
