It's been a hard year, a lot of dead end roads.

It's been too long since I've seen mama's face,

Just a couple more tires, there ain't no place like home,

Heaven ain't that far away.



It's a dirt road, a fishin' pole, a cold beer sittin on a tailgate,

It's an old church, a kind word, it's where I was born and raised,

Heaven ain't that far away, heaven ain't that far away.



Yes you don't know what you got, what you got till it's gone,

Life just goes in circles back to yesterday,

Just touchin' this stretch of highway, I feel like I belong,

Heaven ain't that far away.



It's a dirt road, a fishin' pole, a cold beer sittin on a tailgate,

It's an old church, a kind word, it's where I was born and raised,

Heaven ain't that far away, heaven ain't that far away.



Ain't nothin' in this world that can make me feel

Like what's over that next hill,



It's a dirt road, a fishin' pole, a cold beer sittin on a tailgate,

It's an old church, a kind word, it's where I was born and raised,

Heaven ain't that far away, no it ain't

Heaven ain't that far away, let me tell you now

Heaven ain't that far away
