If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away Lyrics - Rhett Akins

Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge 

One 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 

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 him wave 

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 '89 

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

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
