Written for Carlene Carter back in 1995. I was going for something like her 1992 uptempo hit “Every Little Thing”, one of my CC favs.

I know I’m a bit biased, but I’ve always liked the high energy of this tune as well as my melodic guitar work during the instrumental. Shameless braggin’, I know.

Carlene, call me.


Cloud Nine

If you call and I’m not there

And you can’t find me anywhere

If you’re wonderin’ where oh where

In the world I’m at


Don’t go callin’ 911

I’m not lost or on the run

In fact I’m having lots of fun

Sittin’ here on Cloud 9


Cloud 9 - can’t you  see?

Cloud 9 - what you do to me

Cloud 9 - it’s ecstasy

Sittin’ here on Cloud 9

Ever since ol’ Cupid struck

I’ve been having lots of luck

I feel like a million bucks

Is sittin’ in the bank


And girl I owe it all to you

For giving me a love so true

And making me feel like I do

Sittin’ here on Cloud 9


Cloud 9 - you’re the best

Cloud 9 - better than all the rest

Cloud 9 - you make me feel so blessed Just sittin’ here on Cloud 9


There’s just one thing that I’ve found

My feet leave the ground

Whenever I think of you!

(Instrumental)


Cloud 9 - can’t you see?

Cloud 9 - what you do to me

Cloud 9 - it’s pure ecstasy

Just sittin’ here on Cloud 9


Cloud 9 - honey you’re the best

Cloud 9 - better than all the rest

Cloud 9 - you make me feel so blessed I’m sittin’ here on Cloud 9

Sittin’ here on Cloud 9

I’m sittin’ here on Cloud 9
