"HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY"
WRITTEN BY: ERIC DURRANCE
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY
IT'S GRANDPA IN A ROCKIN CHAIR
TALKIN BOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS
THE SMELL OF SUNDAY SUPER ON THE STOVE
AND THAT HOMEMADE APPLE PIE
THAT ONLY MY GRANDMA COULD MAKE
IT'S A GEORGE STRAIT SONG ON THE RADIO
A 5 HORSE JOHNSON AND AND OLD JOHN BOAT
A BOBBER AND A CANE POLE, LOOK GRANDPA I GOT A BITE
SLOWLY ROLLIN DOWN A DIRT ROAD, HAND SURFIN OUT THE WINDOW
ME SMILING UP AND HIM SAYIN,"GRANDPA CAN I DRIVE?"
A KISS ON THE CHEEK GOODBYE, CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT TIME
MOMENTS LIKE THAT, NOW I CAN SAY
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY
IT'S A SWEET TEA IN MY HAND, ON A BACK PORCH FRIDAY NIGHT
IT'S A LITTLE HOUSE ON A QUITE STREET, IT'S THE SOUND OF MY KID LAUGHING
WITH HER MAMA BY MY SIDE
IT'S A GEORGE STRAIT SONG ON THE RADIO
A 5 HORSE JOHNSON AND AND OLD JOHN BOAT
A BOBBER AND A CANE POLE, LOOK DADDY I GOT A BITE
SLOWLY ROLLIN DOWN A DIRT ROAD, HAND SURFIN OUT THE WINDOW
HER SMILING UP AT ME SAYIN,"DADDY CAN I DRIVE?"
A KISS ON THE CHEEK GOODNIGHT, GOOD MORNIN SUNSHINE
MOMENTS LIKE THAT, NOW I CAN SAY
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA PASSED AWAY
BUT EVERY TIME I PUT THOSE FLOWERS ON THEIR GRAVE
I'M SLOWLY ROLLIN DOWN THE DIRT ROAD, HAND SURFIN OUT THE WINDOW
LORD KNOWS I'D GO THERE IF THAT ROAD COULD TAKE ME BACK
EVERY TIME I'M IN THAT PLACE, I RE-LIVE ALL THOSE DAYS
MOMENTS LIKE THAT, NOW I CAN SAY
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY...
NO IT AIN'T THAT FAR AWAY...
HEAVEN AIN'T THAT FAR...
AWAY
