Dallas Davidson - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away 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 twenty years ago And what I wouldn't give To ride around in that old truck with him [Chorus] If heaven wasn't so far away I'd pack up the kids and go for the day Introduce them to their grandpa Watch them 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 them wave Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take If heaven wasn't so far away [Verse 2] I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the cla** of '99 And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him hunting 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 [Chorus] If heaven wasn't so far away I'd pack up the kids and go for the day Introduce them to their grandpa Watch them 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 them wave Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take If heaven wasn't so far [Outro] If heaven wasn't so far If heaven wasn't so far away So far away So far away
