Everyday I drive to work
Across Flint river bridge
A hundred yards from the spot
That me and Grandpa'd fish
There's a piece of his old fruit stand
On the side of Sawmill Rd.
He'd be there peeling peaches
If it was 20 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
Find my long lost cousin John
The one we lost back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Shes a doctor and he'd be proud
And tell em we'd be back in a couple days
And 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
And take him huntin one more time
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills
If Heaven were only about an hour down the road
I'd see my family and talk to God when I got the urge to go
I'd say i'm sorry, say I love you, say anything I meant to
say back when and then
Tell em we'd be back in a couple days
In the rearview mirror we'd all watch em wave
And losin 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
