I still hear the stories
that he always told me
about the days when
he used to be younger
Raised on the Bible
outside of Pikeville
White lightning
and Carolina thunder
While he was stuck
reminiscin'
I found myself wishin'
I hope someday
I get to tell
my grandkids of my days
and all the highways and
places I ended up goin'
and my heart
in that moment
their granddaddy first
walked in the room
I hope and pray
that someday
I get old too
All we've been given
is a life that
we're livin'
so don't take for granted
right here and now
It'll feel like a lifetime
but I know it'll fly by
so I'll take my time
tryin' to slow it down
I hope someday
I get to waste time
on an old front porch swing
just laughin' and
rememberin'
the people I love
and all the crazy things
that I got to do
I hope and pray
that someday
I get old too
And while I'm stuck
reminiscin'
I hope they
find themselves wishin'
I hope someday
I get to tell
my grandkids of my days
and all the highways and
places I ended up goin'
and my heart
in that moment
their granddaddy first
walked in the room
And I hope one day
I get to waste time
on an old front porch swing
just laughin' and
rememberin'
the people I love
and all the crazy things
that I got to do
I hope and pray
that someday
I get old too
I hope and pray
that someday
I get old too
