A long wooden fence to a tall hickory tree
A wraparound porch with an old cedar swing
We don't get to choose but if I had my way
My road to the sky would look just like

A walk up the driveway to Grandma
Saying: Y'all come and get it
Me and Granddaddy, just gettin' back from some fishin'
Dust flyin' up every step that we're steppin'

So whenever I picture heaven
I see a long wooden fence to a tall hickory tree
A dog on the porch slowly fallin' asleep
We don't get to choose but if I had my way
My road to the sky would look just like

A walk up the driveway
A walk up the driveway to my baby
Chasin' after our young'uns
Me and my brothers talkin' about baseball and huntin'
The rustlin' of cash crops with a Sun-settin' backdrop
Them gold streets are nice, yeah, but my paradise is

That long wooden fence to a tall hickory tree
The leaves blowin' 'round on a cool autumn breeze
We don't get to choose but if I had my way
My road to the sky would look just like
A walk up the driveway
