Brandy Clark - Since You've Gone To Heaven Lyrics
Since you've gone to Heaven I don't like coming home
But I can't stand the thought of mom in that big house alone
She can't keep it up, she really ought to sell
Oh that house without you in it is nothing but a shell
Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell
Everybody says that Billy is looking more and more like you
But he won't talk about you until he's had a few
He dropped out of college, he's in and out of jail
Had to pawn your pocket watch last month to post his bail
Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell
And I hate you had to leave us, but glad you didn't live to see this
The broken pieces of the family you made
Mama's looking so much older, baby brother can't stay sober
I bet you're rolling over in your grave
Since you've gone to Heaven, they shut the sawmill down
Guys you worked for thirty years with have all moved out of town
There's signs in every store front, seems like everything's for sale
They say the market's bouncing back, but it's sure hard to tell
Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell
And I hate you had to leave us, but glad you didn't live to see this
The broken pieces of the family you made
Mama's looking so much older, baby brother can't stay sober
I bet you're rolling over in your grave
Since you've gone to Heaven, I've struggled with goodbye
And broke a lot of promises I made the day you died
Wish I was more like you, less like myself
And I wish that I could talk to you cause I could use your help
Since you've gone to Heaven the whole world's gone to Hell

Such beautyand talent...much better than most the hair spray country music of today
If anyone ever, wanted to showcase an example of lyric writing at it's absolute best ... this would have to be it.
momma😇😔😢
Miss u.... jenet. I can't say nothing.....
My dad died when i was five from cancer he was only in his thirties his princess lost her smile
She is absolutely describing her hometown. It's sad how much of it is shutdown.
Itunes had you on a playlist today for the national womens day... and I am so glad I heard your song. A strong woman, a strong song, and a strong message. Thank you.
Can't ever have too many Angels..............
Also check out this version which was featured on a number 1 album in 🇮🇪 https://youtu.be/t5CK2Sov9Kk
In the official version, the first chorus reads "the broken pieces of the family you made," but the second chorus replaces that with "the broken pieces of the Norman Rockwell days," an absolutely luminous line. For those who don't know Norman Rockwell was an illustrator who painted highly idealized versions of American life during the 40s, 50s and 60s. We indeed live in the broken pieces of those days which never really existed in the first place.
Andy Peace ...that's simply not true. While the whole country wasn't that of a Rockwell painting, those days did exist in many places. I know - I experienced them.
In November, Dad will have been gone 50 years. He was so young... so was I...
I'm sorry
that's a pain that never goes away. God knew how to hurt me so he took my father.
The last verse
I know their not, but I’m just gonna believe that Brandy Clark is somehow related to Guy Clark. I hear his soul coming to the surface on this one.
LuV U BRANDY!
You are amazing.
really love your song hope you keeping walk
Brandy everything you do is super
Love it...Brandy's music is down to earth soul hitting. ..thank goodness I found her :)
I lost my dad a couple of years ago. This song works well because it captures that feeling of helplessness when you lose a parent. rock on Brandy.
She has surpassed John Prine's songwriting and delivery by a long mile. very tight and hard-hitting.
made me cry
Beautiful
favorite new artist this chick is the real deal
love it
No words. So painfully raw yet so beautiful.
I lost my father this year, and this song is perfect. Thanks Brandy. You are the best.
Is there anyway I can get in touch with Brandy and send her lyrics of a few songs I've done. I bet she will definitely get back one she listen to my songs. One of the best songwriters in the industry
Quentin Fernandez
I know you have bo reason to think I can. ..but I can. We are looking as she is going to try another album! Yeah!! We need this to work or we may lose this beautiful talent to the Nashville Machine called the 'record labels' lol. If interested please comment so I can give you directions to contact us! Thanks so much!
So much more intimate as the album version...
Amazing, beautiful voice
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
what a brilliant fucking song! wow who is this broad??
My dad played Bass guitar in a band she was in before she got famous, in the small town of Morton in Washington State. She is not only a Queen of country music but she is also a super beautiful person inside and out, very down to earth and so very kind. She is everything that is good about music.
A beautiful girl who belts out even more beautiful numbers regularly. Well done. Very moving words
Buried Momma on Tuesday. I miss her so much. Since she's gone to heaven, I've gone to hell.
This is my all time favorite song. So amazing❤️
Is this the perfect combination of storytelling, pathos, melody & passion? I think it is. It's also sensitively shot. "Since You've Gone To Heaven' should become a classic. Songwriting at its best.
Greetings from Romania!Thanks for this touching song!
wow....
Seeing you tonight at the City Winery in Chicago!!! YAAAAAAY!!! Love this song. Have your first CD and share it with as many folks as I can! Want people to know you too!.
