Justin Moore - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away (Live at the Ryman) 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
And 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

If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
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

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 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

If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
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

So far away
