Intro
C F C F
C F
Everyday I drive to work across Flint River bridge
C F
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpaw fished.
G F
There's a piece of his ol' fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
G F
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was 20 years ago
Em F
And what I wouldn't give
Em F G
To ride around in that old truck with him
Chorus
C
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
Am G F
Tell 'em we'd be back in a couple of days
Am G F
In the rear view mirror, we'd all watch 'em wave
Am G F
Yeah, losin' them wouldn't be so hard to take
F G C F
If Heaven wasn't so far away.
C F
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
G F
Ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
G F
And Janice to sing the second verse of 'Me and Bobbie McGee'
Em F
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
Em F G
It'd do me good just to see them smile.
