Heaven Ain't Far

[Intro] [Electric Guitar Riff] Yeah, preacher man says look to the sky Says it's up there, way past the clouds so high (yeah, yeah!) But I lost more good folks than I can count Angels hangin' 'round here, no doubt [Verse 1] Grandpa's tractor broke down one last time His old hound dog howlin' a mournful rhyme But I bet he's got that Ford fired up out there Fields of green gold, work that's fair [Pre-Chorus 1] They ain't in no church, ain't kneelin' in pews Wearin' faded Wranglers and muddy boots [Chorus] Heaven ain't so far away, nah Might be just past that county line today Cold beers crackin', guitars howlin' a tune (hell yeah!) Bonfire blazin' under a harvest moon Heaven ain't so far away, nah Betcha Mama's laughin', watchin' us raise some hell today [Verse 2] Lost my best girl in a blink of an eye Small town whispers sayin' she flew to the sky Well, that girl was a wildfire, a rebel soul If heaven's all halos, she's bustin' outta her role (ooh-yeah) [Pre-Chorus 2] Bet she's with the outlaws, the angels with bite Sippin' somethin' stronger than holy light [Chorus] Heaven ain't so far away, nah Might be just past that county line today Cold beers crackin', guitars howlin' a tune (hell yeah!) Bonfire blazin' under a harvest moon Heaven ain't so far away, nah Betcha Mama's laughin', watchin' us raise some hell today [Breakdown Bridge] [Slide Guitar] So when they ring that church bell for me Don't want no tears, no misery Just lay my workin' boots in the old red clay Y'all know where to find me anyway [Verse 3] Whiskey on the headstone, let it rain One last toast to livin', one for the pain When that good Lord calls, maybe I'll take the ride But it's gonna be a long, rowdy trip inside (yeah, yeah!) [Pre-Chorus 3] Till then, dirt roads rumble beneath my feet Where the good, the bad, the lost all meet [Chorus] Heaven ain't so far away, nah Might be just past that county line today Cold beers crackin', guitars howlin' a tune (hell yeah!) Bonfire blazin' under a harvest moon Heaven ain't so far away, nah Betcha Mama's laughin', watchin' us raise some hell today [Verse 4] Buddy fought a war I never understood Came back broken, haunted for good Some nights the demons, they get too loud Makes you wonder where God was when the bombs rained down (damn) [Pre-Chorus 4] Now he ain't afraid of the reaper's sting Says he's met worse fightin' for some damn thing [Chorus] Heaven ain't so far away, nah Might be just past that county line today Cold beers crackin', guitars howlin' a tune (hell yeah!) Bonfire blazin' under a harvest moon Heaven ain't so far away, nah Betcha Mama's laughin', watchin' us raise some hell today [Outro] [Harmonica Solo] Heaven ain't so far, heaven ain't so far Heaven ain't so far away (away, away)
