If Heaven Had a Phone

If Heaven had a phone, I'd call it every day

Just to hear my mama's voice and let her know that I'm okay

And I'd tell her that I love her like I didn't get to do

'Cause I got there too late and she left here too soon

And I'd talk on and on if Heaven had a phone

And I'd tell her 'bout her grandbaby that she never got to see

How she looks just like her and how she acts just like me

And she'd laugh and say, "I told you

Boy, one day you'd get what you deserve"

And she'd be right 'cause there were times that I was rough on her

And I'd say, "I'm sorry, Mama, I was wrong," if Heaven had a phone

And I'd say, "Can I talk to Daddy?"

And she'd tell me, "You just missed him

He's sittin' out there on that river

You know how he loves fishin'"

Then the last thing that I'd do before I said goodbye

Is I'd ask to speak to Jesus just so that I

Could thank Him for my day and all that's good and right

For makin' her my mama and for givin' me my life

And I'd talk on and on if Heaven had a phone

Yeah, I'd talk way too long if Heaven had a phone
