Lyrics

(Bb)Ev ’ry day I drive to work a cross Flint Riv er Bridge

a (Bb)hun dred yards from the spot where (Eb)me and Grand pa fished.

There’s a (F)piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Saw mill Road.

He’d (F)be there peel in’ peach es if it was twen ty years a go.

And what I would n’t give

to (Dm)ride a round in that old truck with him.

If (Bb)heav en was n’t so far a way, I’d (Eb)pack up the kids and go for the day.

(F)In tro duce ’em to their grand pa; (Eb)watch ’em laugh at the way he talked.

(Bb)Find my long lost cous in John, the (Eb)one we left back in Vi et nam.

(F)Show him a pic ture of his daugh ter now; (Eb)she’s a doc tor and he’d be proud.

(Gm)Tell ’em we’d be back in a cou ple of days.

In the (Gm)rear view mir ror (F)we’d all watch ’em wave.

Yeah, (Gm)los in’ them would n’t (F)be so hard to (Eb)take

if heav en was n’t so (F)far a way.

I’d (Bb)hug all three of those girls we lost from the (Eb)class of nine ty nine.

And I’d (Bb)find my bird dog Bo and take him (Eb)hunt in’ one more time.

(F)Ask Hank why he took those pills (Eb)back in fif ty three

and (F)Jan is to sing the sec ond verse of “Me and Bob by Mc Gee.”

Sit (Dm)on a cloud and vis it for a while.

It ’d (Dm)do me good just to see them (Eb)smile.

If (F)far,

if (Eb)heav en was n’t so (F)far,

if (Eb)heav en was n’t so (F)far a way,

so far

a way,

so far

a way.
