Everyday I drive to work

Across Flint river bridge

A hundred yards from the spot

That me and Grandpa'd fish

On the side of Sawmill Rd.
D/F
He'd be there peeling peaches
C9
If it was 20 years ago
Bm7 C9
And what I wouldn't give
Bm7 C9 D/F
To ride around in that old truck with him
G
If Heaven wasn't so far away

I'd pack up the kids and go for the day

D/F G INTRO
If Heaven wasn't so far away
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost
From the class of 89
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
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
From 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 away
C9 D/F
If Heaven were only about an hour down the road
C9 D/F
I'd see my family and talk to God when I got the urge to go
C9 D/F
I'd say i'm sorry, say I love you, say anything I meant to
C9 D
say back when,,,,,,,and then
Em7 D/F C9
Tell em we'd be back in a couple days
Em7 D/F C9
In the rearview mirror we'd all watch em wave
Em7 D/F C9
