Lyrics:

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

My favorite song!:)

[177987auprr1]

Song fits me in almost every way. I have a grandpa that died 9 years ago, an uncle John that I never met that commited suicide in Vietnam, and a dog that had to be put down due to his loss of sense in his hips. Wish they could be here right now.
