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 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 them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talked
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
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of
days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em
wave
Yeah, and losing 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 '99
And I'd find my bird dog Bow and take him
huntin' one
more time
I'd ask Hank 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 a while
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 talked
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
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of
days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em
wave
Yeah, and 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 awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy
So far away
Daddy if heaven wasn't so far away, I would be there everyday....love and miss you so very much...Always in my heart....
