            Song 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.
