They shut the doorPulled the shade, told us the newsNow, it wasn't long till the pastor cameRead a red line from LukeGranddaddy said: I'm probably damnedFrom the damn things I've doneThen he grabbed grandma's handAnd in front of everyoneHe told herThe closest to Heaven that I'll ever beIs somewhere with you under a big old oak treeIf it's hellfire or streets of goldDon't know where I'm gonna goBut if one thing I know, I believeHoney, you're the closest to HeavenThat I'll ever beThen he said: I was noddin' offWhiskey on my breathIn a pinewood back pewI only talked to God every now and thenTo thank Him for youGuess He knew what He was doin'When He sent you my wayYou were the only chance I ever hadAt ever bein' savedYeah, the closest to Heaven that I'll ever beIs somewhere with you under a big old oak treeIf it's hellfire or streets of goldDon't know where I'm gonna goBut if one thing I know, I believeHoney, you're the closest to HeavenThat I'll ever be21 guns, folded flag in her lapOne headstone blankNext to one etched in blackAnd it readsThe closest to Heaven that I'll ever beIs somewhere with you under a big old oak treeIf it's hellfire or streets of goldDon't know where I'm gonna goBut if one thing I know, I believeHoney, you're the closest to HeavenThat I'll ever beHoney, you're the closest to HeavenThat I'll ever be
