Heaven's Forever

In grandpa's barn in the back of the field

There's a hunk of junk of Detroit steel

Rusted outdoors and missing wheels

Sitting on the cinder blocks

When he found it back in '49

The paint was new and boy, it shined

The road is hard and years ain't kind

Now we watch it rot

If grandpa was here with me today

I know exactly what he'd say

Life is short, it goes too fast

Spend your time on things that last

'Cause in the end, it's all that really matters

Soon enough the things of earth

Will crumble and return to dust

So be sure where you store your treasure

'Cause life is short, heaven's forever

I don't pretend to know it all

But they ought to rock it

The things I've done

What matters most can't be bought

Just like grandpa said

Was this a lovely giveaway to hand you a reach

The time you take to help somebody through another day

Every chance you get

When you make it to the pearly gates

There's not a thing down here you're gonna take

Life is short, it goes too fast

Spend your time on things that last

'Cause in the end, it's all that really matters

Soon enough the things of earth

Will crumble and return to dust

So be sure where you store your treasure

'Cause life is short, heaven's forever

Soon enough the things of earth

Will crumble and return to dust

So be sure where you store your treasure

'Cause life is short, heaven's forever
