So Far Away

If heaven was a mile away
I would probably get lost on the way there
I would take a wrong turn ...or two...or three
Making lefts that should be right
and although they say three lefts end up right anyway
I'd still be lost because by then the sun would have gone down
and I would have to squint to see the signs
and even if I pulled over to fill up
and God told me which way to go
and that my destination was only a mile down the road
I'd probably get too cocky
gun the gas and hit 100 on the way there
passing heaven by while singing along to Tupac's "Keep Your Head Up"
and wondering why a mile and Heaven seems so far away.
