  Every day I drive to work  

  Across Flint River bridge 

  A 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 

  And what I wouldn't give 

  -----x----x----- 

  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 'em wave 

  Yeah, 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 '99 

  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 

  -----x----x----- 

  It'd do me good just to see them smile
