Bobby's gone West, he's headed to San Francisco
To carve out a future from his favorite songs
Drifters roll left, he set out from my Ohio
It's always here if you wanna come home

If all we ever do is joke can you tell when I'm sincere?
If all we ever do is cope are we wasting time my dear?

With heaven so close I never want to be alone
With heaven so close anywhere you go I'll call that home

Casey's gone North, she's headed for Minnesota
We always knew that she wouldn't come back
Fell out of touch, looking for buried treasure
She's got an itch that she never could scratch

If all we ever do is joke can you tell when I'm sincere?
If all we ever do is hope are we wasting time on fear?

With heaven so close I never want to be alone
With heaven so close anywhere you go I'll call that home

How am I supposed to wish you well when you go away?
You're taking with me everything I love and I want you to stay
How am I supposed to wish you well when you go away?
You're taking with me everything I love and I want you to stay
With heaven so close, with heaven so close

Andy's gone South, he's headed for Alabama
It's got a hook that he can't get off
Laid out again, he's dreaming in panorama
Living is hard when you're born so soft

If all we ever do is cope are we wasting time my dear?

With heaven so close I never want to be alone
With heaven so close anywhere you go I'll call that home
