If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away sing and play along

Ev'ry 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 fruitstand on the side of Sawmill Road.

He'd be there peelin' 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 'em to their grandpa;

watch 'em laugh at the way he talked.

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 rearview mirror we'd all watch 'em wave.

Yeah, losin' them wouldn't 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 ninetynine.

And I'd find my bird dog Bo

and take him huntin' one more time.

Ask Hank why he took those pills back in fiftythree

and Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee."

Sit on a cloud and visit for a while.

It'd do me good just to see them smile.

If far, if heaven wasn't so far,

if heaven wasn't so far away,

so far away,

so far away.
