Lyrics

They shut the door Pulled the shade, told us the news Now, it wasn't long till the pastor came Read a red line from Luke Granddaddy said, "I'm probably damned From the damn things I've done" Then he grabbed Grandma's hand And in front of everyone He told her The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be Is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree If it's hell-fire or streets of gold Don't know where I'm gonna go But if one thing I know, I believe Honey, you're the closest to Heaven That I'll ever be Then he said, "I was noddin' off Whiskey on my breath In a pinewood back pew I only talked to God every now and then To thank Him for you Guess He knew what He was doin' When He sent you my way You were the only chance I ever had at ever bein' saved" Yeah, the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be Is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree If it's hell-fire or streets of gold Don't know where I'm gonna go But if one thing I know, I believe Honey, you're the closest to Heaven That I'll ever be Twenty-one guns, folded flag in her lap One headstone blank Next to one etched in black And it reads The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be Is somewhere with you Under a big old oak tree If it's hell-fire or streets of gold Don't know where I'm gonna go But if one thing I know, I believe Honey, you're the closest to Heaven That I'll ever be Honey, you're the closest to Heaven That I'll ever be
