歌词
Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
那座跨过弗林特河的小桥是我每早上班的必经之路
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished
离我和父亲以前钓鱼的地方只有100码远
父亲经常会在Sawmill路旁摆个水果摊
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
20年前的每一天他都会在那削梨
如果能和他一起坐在那辆老皮卡里到处转转
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
这样的机会我会很珍惜的
如果天堂不遥远
And what I wouldn't give
我会带上我的孩子们去那儿玩上一天
To ride around in that old truck with him
让他们见见爷爷
If heaven wasn't so far away
让他们被爷爷的幽默逗笑
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
我还会去见
Introduce them to their grandpa
在越战中牺牲的堂兄John
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
给他看看他女儿现在的样子
I'd find my long lost cousin John
她已经是个医生了，他一定会非常骄傲
The one we left back in Vietnam
然后再告诉他我们过几天还会回来
Show him a picture of his daughter now
离别时，后视镜照着他们挥手的样子
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
如果天堂不遥远
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
失去就不会这么痛苦了
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
我会和那三个99届已经离去的女生们拥抱
Yeah' and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
我会找到我的小狗Bo，再带他去打一次猎
If heaven wasn't so far away
我会问Hank Williams为什么会在53年服药去世
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
我会和Janis Joplin一起唱了“Me and Bobby McGee”的第二节
And I'd find my old bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
坐在云朵上，在天堂多呆一会
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
能看到他们的笑容已经让我很满足了
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
如果天堂不遥远
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
我会带上我的孩子们去那儿玩上一天
It'd do me good just to see them smile
让他们见见爷爷
让他们被爷爷的幽默逗笑
If heaven wasn't so far away
我还会去见
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
在越战中牺牲的堂兄John
Introduce them to their grandpa
给他看看他女儿现在的样子
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
她已经是个医生了，他一定会非常骄傲
I'd find my long lost cousin John
然后再告诉他我们过几天还会回来
The one we left back in Vietnam
离别时，后视镜照着他们挥手的样子
Show him a picture of his daughter now
失去就不会这么痛苦了
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
如果天堂不遥远
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
如果天堂不遥远
如果天堂不遥远
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
如果
天堂不遥远...
Yeah' and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far
If heaven wasn't so far
If heaven wasn't so far away
So far away
So far away
