歌词
[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)
