If I Get There Before You

Grandpa looked up from his hospital bed With a tear in his eye, he looked at grandma and said "If it's my time to go, I'll reckon, I'm ready" Surely somewhere up there, someone's got some keys to a Chevy I can drive around, checkin' cows with an old ranch dog named Blue No, don't worry 'bout me, honey I'll have plenty to do If I get there before you Make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea And a house on a hill with a view Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze Spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like The home you poured your heart and soul into If I get there before you I'll plant you a garden with those daisies you love Make some fitters for the hummin' birds and hang them all Oh, you know me darlin' I've always got a plan I did it all once, I can do it again Yeah, if I get there before you I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea And a house on a hill with a view Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like The home you poured your heart and soul into If I get there before you Yeah, if I get there before you I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea And a house on a hill with a view Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like The home you poured your heart and soul into I'll be waitin' there in a rockin' chair Drinkin' a cold beer like I always do If I get there before you
