david morris - backroad to heaven lyrics
[chorus]
what happens when you die
aww man don’t ya know
heaven’s down a long backroad
take your ol’ sweet time and you drive it real slow
you don’t need directions when you’re headed back home
the sky opens up, the windows roll down
your favorite song comes on the radio dial
you see life flash, you feel like a child
you park at the gates and you wave with a smile to get in
there’s a highway to h+ll
and a backroad to heaven
[verse 1]
nine years old i was sitting on the porch
i had tears rolling down my eyes
just a young little lost boy asking his momma
why did grandpa have to die
will i ever see him again is he coming on back
is he gonna have trouble on the way
then my big cousin took my hand sat me down
and i remember hearing him say
there’s a reason why the stars light up in the sky
there’s a reason why the birds fly so d+mn high
there’s something up there, i said i guess your right, but
[chorus]
what happens when you die
aww man don’t ya know
heaven’s down a long backroad
take your ol’ sweet time and you drive it real slow
you don’t need directions when you’re headed back home
the sky opens up, the windows roll down
your favorite song comes on the radio dial
you see life flash, you feel like a child
you park at the gates and you wave with a smile to get in
there’s a highway to h+ll
and a backroad to heaven
[verse 2]
well life flew by now i’m old and grey
baby i’ve had such a good life
i got great grandkids and my family all around me
i don’t wanna leave, but it’s time
just cuz i’m gone don’t mean that i left
i’ll always be right here in your heart
i’ll be a star in the sky, just a bird flying high
honey i’ll be your light in the dark
there’s a reason why i love you so d+mn much
there’s a reason why i can’t say that enough
i promise i’ll see you again some day
till then just believe me when i say
[chorus]
what happens when you die
aww man don’t ya know
heaven’s down a long backroad
take your ol’ sweet time and ya drive it real slow
you don’t need directions when you’re headed back home
the sky opens up, the windows roll down
your favorite song comes on the radio dial
you see life flash, you feel like a child
you park at the gates and you wave with a smile to get in
there’s a highway to h+ll
and a backroad to heaven
