Berryhill and Gilbert co-produced this new single from the just-released So Help Me God album. Officially, the writers of "Heaven by Then" are Gilbert, Brock Berryhill, Michael Hardy, Jake Mitchell, Randy Montana, Hunter Phelps and Taylor Phillips. To have both of ‘em on one? I don’t have a bucket list, but if I did, we’d be making check marks all over it.” " When they pave all the dirt roads / And John Deeres are dinosaurs / When the last back 40 gets old and young boys don't open doors / When you can't hunt a white tail and keep what you reel in / Well, I hope I'm in Heaven by then." "I never thought in a million years I’d get to do a song with Vince Gill. “I never thought in a million years I’d get to do a song with Blake Shelton," Gilbert says. The Voice coach gets an isolated verse on the final cut. Everyone in the room had Shelton in mind as they added subsequent verse and chorus. Not only did the lyrics come spilling out, ideas to collaborate did, too. and Hardy picks up a guitar, which is never a bad thing." " No, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live / Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist / If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in / Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then." Guys have been drinking, those of us who didn't drink might have spent a little time with Willie (Gilbert's name for marijuana)," the star shares. ![]() "This is 3 o'clock in the morning in Texas. "Heaven by Then" includes a whopping seven co-writers, in part because it was so late nobody could remember who said what. The anger (not really) was because that kind of smart song hook is one you save for a write with one or two other songwriters, so the royalties will be split fewer ways. Hardy like literally slammed his fist on the table and said, 'Why would you say that in front of 10 people?'" "Taylor Phillips was talking about something else," Gilbert recalls, "and he said, 'Man I hope I'm in heaven by then.' The whole room stopped. Hardy was among them, and at one point, he got real upset at another co-writer. It's a trip Gilbert says he takes yearly with the same group of friends. ![]() "Heaven by Then" was started last year during a songwriting retreat to Texas. 3 is just a number / And Hank is just a name / When trucks don't sound like thunder and nobody prays for rain / When you don't hear ‘Yes, Sir, Yes, ma'am or Jesus on FM / Then, I hope I'm in Heaven by then." That's kind of what the song's about." " When No. "I think there's a lot of ol' boys like me that we like what we like and you know, the new way of doing things and the new way of thinking about things doesn't really sit right with us sometimes.
