| Every day I drive to work across Flint River Bridge
|
| A hundred yards from the spot where me and Grandpa fished
|
| There’s a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
|
| He’d be there peeling peaches if it was twenty years ago
|
| And what I wouldn’t give to ride around in that old truck with him
|
| If heaven wasn’t so far away I’d pack up the kids and go for the day
|
| Introduce them to their grandpa Watch em laugh at the way he talks
|
| I’d find my long lost cousin John the one we left back in Vietnam
|
| Show him a picture of his daughter now She’s a doctor and he’d be proud
|
| Tell 'em we’d be back in a couple of days
|
| In the rear view mirror we’d all watch them wave
|
| Losing them wouldnt be so hard to take
|
| If heaven wasn’t so far away
|
| I’d hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of 99
|
| And find my old bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
|
| I’d ask Hand why he took those pills back in '53
|
| And Janis to sing the second verse of «Me and Bobby McGee
|
| Sit on a cloud and visit for awhile
|
| It’d do me good just to see them smile
|
| IF heaven wasn’t so far away I’d pack up the kids and go for the day
|
| Introduce them to their grandpa Watch em laugh at the way he talks
|
| I’d find my long lost cousin John the one we left back in Vietnam
|
| Show him a picture of his daughter now She’s a doctor he’d be proud
|
| tell em we’d be back in a couple of days
|
| In the rear view we’d all watch them wave
|
| Yeah losing them wouldn’t be so hard to take
|
| If heaven wasn’t so far
|
| If heaven wasn’t so far
|
| If heaven wasn’t so far away
|
| So far away
|
| So far away |
