You stood on that bank when I got baptized,
|
Gave me a 30-30 when I turned 9.
|
At 16 you caught me drinkin' out in the barn.
|
I could hear you cheerin' when we won state, and you held my hand at Grandma's grave.
|
And I'll always be thankful, that you never sold the farm.
|
|
Grandpa, you stood so tall,
|
Chewed that Red Man wore overalls.
|
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night.
|
You were five foot six to the top of your hat but, when you talked about the war I thought you were superman.
|
American born simple man with a southern drawl.
|
You walk the walk, talk the talk, Grandpa.
|
|
You still swear Roosevelt was the best.
|
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest and, fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love.
|
Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now but I know where to go when I need to slow down and when I walk up on your front porch;
|
It's just like I'm still young.
|
|
Grandpa, you stood so tall,
|
Chewed that Red Man wore overalls.
|
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night.
|
You were five foot six to the top of your hat but, when you talked about the war I thought you were superman.
|
American born simple man with a southern drawl.
|
You walk the walk, talk the talk, Grandpa.
|
|
Yeah, American born a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl.
|
Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the talk, Grandpa.
