Everyday I drive to work across Flint River BridgeCFA hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpaw fished.
GF
There's a piece of his ol' fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
GF
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was 20 years ago
EmF
And what I wouldn't give
EmFG
To ride around in that old truck with him
ChorusC
If Heaven wasn't so far away
F
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
G
Introduce them to their grandpaw
F
Watch them laugh at the way he talked
C
Find my long lost cousin John
F
The one we left back in Vietnam
G
Show him a picture of his daughter now
F
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
AmGF
Tell 'em we'd be back in a couple of days
AmGF
In the rear view mirror, we'd all watch 'em wave
AmGF
Yeah, losin' them wouldn't be so hard to take
FGCF
If Heaven wasn't so far away.

CF
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
C
And I'd find my bird dog Bo,
F
And take him huntin' one more time
GF
Ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
GF
And Janice to sing the second Verse of 'Me and Bobbie McGee'
EmF
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
EmFG
It'd do me good just to see them smile.
ChorusC
If Heaven wasn't so far away
F
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
G
Introduce them to their grandpaw
F
Watch them laugh at the way he talked
C
Find my long lost cousin John
F
The one we left back in Vietnam
G
Show him a picture of his daughter now
F
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
AmGF
Tell 'em we'd be back in a couple of days

AmGF
Yeah, losin' them wouldn't be so hard to take
FG
If Heaven wasn't so far
AmG
If Heaven wasn't so far
FG
If Heaven wasn't so far away.
CF
So far away
