It sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nails
|
And it's worth a lot of money
|
And it damn sure ain't for sale
|
The good lord only knows all the stories it could tell
|
My Granddaddy's gun
|
|
He bought it new out of the sears and robuck catalog
|
And it shot a many a shells over the back of an old bird dog
|
And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
|
Granddaddy's gun.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's just an old double barrel twelve
|
The stock is cracked and it kick's like hell
|
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me to no one
|
Cause I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
|
A guns like a woman son it's all how you hold her
|
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
|
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
|
My Granddaddy's Gun
|
|
That old man gave it to me on the day I turned thirteen
|
With a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
|
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
|
And Granddaddy's gun
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
It's just an old double barrel twelve
|
The stock was cracked and it kick's like hell
|
It wouldn't mean what mean's to me to no one
|
Cause I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
|
A guns like a woman son it's all how you hold her
|
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
|
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
|
My Granddaddy's Gun
|
|
There's a long beard hanging on the livin' room wall
|
That I got with a box call and Granddaddy's gun
|
There's a beat up sign out there on forty nine
|
That me and billy joe shot up one night
|
With granddaddy's gun
|
|
It sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nails
|
It ain't worth a lot of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
|
