Heaven (Wax Recording)

Heaven

This road sure is long and uphill most days

And change never changes enough

To hide all the rough spots, the patches and places

That need some mending or care

The wear and tear that weighs on me heavy

Drags everything slower, and still

It seems our time together no matter the measure

In the end was no time at all

CHORUS

Pour me a whiskey when I get this way

And I’ll tell you one thing that’s true

Just lay me to rest in her arms when I die

That’s as close to heaven as I care to go

Eyes on the horizon, one hand on the wheel

The other rests on her knee

It all flew by in record time, like a movie that’s over too soon

And drinking cold coffee as the miles slip on by

I remember when there was a time

That we sat in the sunshine, on a clear fall morning

And I braided some flowers in her hair

My hands they complain when I rise of a morning

Like old tools just worse for the wear

But this coffee is warm and I’m happy listen

For the sound of her feet on the stairs

So pour me the whiskey when I get this way

And I’ll tell you one good thing that’s true

Lay me to rest in her arms when I die

That’s as close to heaven as I care to go

And if that’s not heaven, you can’t make me go
