Million Dollar View

Album: Proud To Be Here (2011)

  • I don't need to be sittin' on the roof
    Of a high-rise lookin' at the city below
    I don't need to be on the beach
    Watchin' that sun sink in the Gulf of Mexico
    If I climb to the top of a Colorado mountain
    I could see forever from there
    But I don't have to go anywhere

    [Chorus]
    I've got a million dollar view
    Right here in my livin' room
    In this little tin roof house
    Even with the shades pulled down
    And the lights turned out
    I don't need to go to some exotic place
    To see the kinda thing that takes my breath away
    No all I gotta do is look at you
    And I've got a million dollar view

    When I see you layin' there in that sexy nightgown
    It burns me down deep in my soul
    You're a livin' work of art
    A sight that would inspire the likes of Michelangelo
    If I took a telescope and pointed it to heaven
    I wouldn't find nothin' up there
    That compares to what I got right here

    [Chorus]

    I don't need to go to some exotic place
    To see the kind of thing that takes my breath away
    No all I gotta do is look at you
    You know the truth is
    I don't know if a million would get it

    You're my million dollar view
    Yeah just lookin' at you
    You're my million dollar view Writer/s: DAVID MURPHY, GEORGE TEREN
