If I Get There Before You
Grandpa looked up from his hospital bed
With a tear in his eye, he looked at grandma and said
"If it's my time to go, I'll reckon, I'm ready"
Surely somewhere up there, someone's got some keys to a Chevy
I can drive around, checkin' cows with an old ranch dog named Blue
No, don't worry 'bout me, honey
I'll have plenty to do
If I get there before you
Make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
Spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
If I get there before you
I'll plant you a garden with those daisies you love
Make some fitters for the hummin' birds and hang them all
Oh, you know me darlin'
I've always got a plan
I did it all once, I can do it again
Yeah, if I get there before you
I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
If I get there before you
Yeah, if I get there before you
I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
I'll be waitin' there in a rockin' chair
Drinkin' a cold beer like I always do
If I get there before you
With a tear in his eye, he looked at grandma and said
"If it's my time to go, I'll reckon, I'm ready"
Surely somewhere up there, someone's got some keys to a Chevy
I can drive around, checkin' cows with an old ranch dog named Blue
No, don't worry 'bout me, honey
I'll have plenty to do
If I get there before you
Make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
Spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
If I get there before you
I'll plant you a garden with those daisies you love
Make some fitters for the hummin' birds and hang them all
Oh, you know me darlin'
I've always got a plan
I did it all once, I can do it again
Yeah, if I get there before you
I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
If I get there before you
Yeah, if I get there before you
I'll make sure they got ice box, pie, and sweet tea
And a house on a hill with a view
Little wrap-around porch wind chime singin' in a breeze
I'll spend all my time gettin' heaven lookin' just like
The home you poured your heart and soul into
I'll be waitin' there in a rockin' chair
Drinkin' a cold beer like I always do
If I get there before you
