Heaven Ain't That Far

I woke up late, sun in my face

Coffee cold, but the bills still chase

I got rust on my dreams, holes in my jeans

But I still hum like a tambourine

She left a note, said "boy, don't drown"

But I've been swimmin' in this no good town

Still got a spark in this busted heart

And a full tank headin' out past dark

Heaven ain't that far when you're holdin' on tight

When your soul keeps dancin' through a Saturday night

You can find a little light in a dive bar song

With a stranger singin' every word wrong

I've been low, I've been scarred

But heaven, heaven ain't that far

I've been down on a barstool throne

Preachin' truth through a cracked iPhone

But even the lost can feel found

When the jukebox mercy's spinnin' round

You don't need wings to fly sometimes

Just a beat that lifts and a voice that climbs

If love can live in this ol' guitar, then maybe

Heaven ain't that far, when the music's right

When the pain turns sweet in the neon light

You can find a little grace in a backseat laugh

Or a barefoot kiss on a faded path

I've been broke, I've been barred

But heaven, heaven ain't that far

No, it ain't, not when you're singin' from the heart

Oh, heaven ain't that far when you're holdin' on tight

When your soul keeps dancin' through a Saturday night

You can find a little light in a dive bar song

With a stranger singin' every word wrong

I've been low, I've been scarred

But heaven, heaven ain't that far

But heaven, heaven ain't that far
