Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 20 years ago
And what I wouldn't give
To ride around in that old truck with him
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost
From the class of '99
And I'd find my bird dog Bo
Take him hunting one more time
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 away
So far away
So far away
