Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If Heaven was a house

Would it be a mansion?

'Cause it ain't what I imagine

When I close my eyes

I see a little fence

White picket with a front porch

Rocking chairs and a screen door and when I go inside

[Verse 2]

Grandma's at the kitchen table folding her clean clothes

Johnny's on the radio and there's biscuits on the stove

[Verse 3]

There's family photos on the wall

See all the ones I thought I lost

I hope someday I'm hanging up there too

Yeah, Saturday night's playing cards

And daddy's smoking good cigars

There ain't no pain 'cause we're all made brand new

[Verse 4]

We'd get to stay forever

And they'd never tear it down

[Verse 5]

If Heaven was a house

I'd hang out in the back yard

With the hood up on an old car

My buddy next to me

Ain't seen him in a while

Since senior year of high school

He missed a curve in that Malibu

Said he didn't feel a thing

[Verse 6]

We'd come in for supper

When the lightning bugs came out

Grampa watching baseball

With his feet up on the couch

[Verse 7]

There's family photos on the wall

See all the ones I thought I lost

I hope someday I'm hanging up there too

Yeah, Saturday night's playing cards

And daddy's smoking good cigars

There ain't no pain 'cause we're all made brand new

[Verse 8]

We'd get to stay forever

And they'd never tear it down

If Heaven was a house

[Verse 9]

There's family photos on the wall

See all the ones I thought I lost

I hope someday I'm hanging up there too

Yeah, Saturday night's playing cards

And daddy's smoking good cigars

There ain't no pain 'cause we're all made brand new

[Verse 10]

We'd get to stay forever

And they'd never tear it down

If Heaven was a house

If Heaven was a house
