Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge |
| [00:19.51] |
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished |
| [00:24.75] |
|
| [00:25.63] |
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road |
| [00:31.24] |
|
| [00:31.93] |
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago |
| [00:36.07] |
|
| [00:40.25] |
And what I wouldn't give |
| [00:44.86] |
To ride around in that old truck with him |
| [00:51.35] |
If heaven wasn't so far away |
| [00:54.60] |
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day |
| [00:58.16] |
Introduce them to their grandpa |
| [01:00.90] |
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks |
| [01:04.33] |
I'd find my long lost cousin John |
| [01:07.39] |
The one we left back in Vietnam |
| [01:10.26] |
Show him a picture of his daughter now |
| [01:13.51] |
She's a doctor and he'd be proud |
| [01:16.88] |
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days |
| [01:22.30] |
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave |
| [01:29.48] |
Yeah' and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take |
| [01:35.78] |
If heaven wasn't so far away |
| [01:37.97] |
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99 |
| [01:51.55] |
And I'd find my old bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time |
| [01:58.19] |
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53 |
| [02:04.49] |
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee" |
| [02:10.79] |
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while |
| [02:16.78] |
It'd do me good just to see them smile |
| [02:22.15] |
|
| [02:23.39] |
If heaven wasn't so far away |
| [02:26.64] |
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day |
| [02:30.20] |
Introduce them to their grandpa |
| [02:32.26] |
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks |
| [02:36.50] |
I'd find my long lost cousin John |
| [02:39.18] |
The one we left back in Vietnam |
| [02:42.55] |
Show him a picture of his daughter now |
| [02:45.55] |
She's a doctor and he'd be proud |
| [02:48.79] |
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days |
| [02:54.03] |
|
| [02:54.97] |
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave |
| [03:00.15] |
|
| [03:01.27] |
Yeah' and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take |
| [03:07.39] |
If heaven wasn't so far |
| [03:11.13] |
If heaven wasn't so far |
| [03:14.31] |
If heaven wasn't so far away |
| [03:19.06] |
|
| [03:22.11] |
So far away |
| [03:27.11] |
|
| [03:28.35] |
So far away |
