They say that smokin' ain't allowed in here
|
But I don't care
|
Try to sneak you some
|
Saw your buddies at the barber shop
|
And they sure fight a lot
|
Just like they've always done
|
You look at me
|
Like you don't know who I am
|
But that's alright
|
Cause I know who you are
|
|
You're the stubborn one
|
My great-granddaddy's son
|
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
|
Time has stripped you of
|
So many things you love
|
But you keep fightin' on
|
Cause you're the stubborn one
|
|
Remember when we saw Hank Aaron play
|
I was in second grade
|
You snuck me out of school
|
And you wore overalls to Sunday church
|
You said the Good Lord's work
|
Ain't done in a monkey suit
|
You bought your tires down at
|
Eddie Shaw's garage
|
You said K-Mart didn't need your dollar
|
|
You're the stubborn one
|
My great-granddaddy's son
|
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
|
Time has stripped you of
|
So many things you love
|
But you keep fightin' on
|
Cause you're the stubborn one
|
|
The nurses wonder why
|
I keep comin' back
|
They tell me you can't hear me
|
I guess I'm more like you
|
Than anybody knew
|
I can't let go of what I hold so dearly
|
The stubborn one
|
|
You're the stubborn one
|
My great-granddaddy's son
|
The one who drank his whiskey from a coffee cup
|
Time has stripped you of
|
So many things you love
|
But you keep fightin' on
|
Cause you're the stubborn one
|
You're the stubborn one
|
|
Yeah, the stubborn one
|
You're the stubborn one
|
