If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away - Justin Moore

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 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

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 Bo

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 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

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
