WELL GRANDDADDY
WAS A
HILLBILLY SCHOLAR
BLUE-COLLAR OF A MAN
HE CAME FROM THE SCHOOL
WHERE YOU DIDN'T
NEED NOTHIN'
IF YOU COULDN'T
MAKE IT WITH
YOUR OWN TWO HANDS
HE WAS BACKWOODS
BACKWARDS
USED WORDS LIKE NO SIR
YES MA'AM
BY GOD BE DARNED
HELL YEAH I'M AMERICAN
AND ALL THE YEARS
HE WALKED THIS EARTH
I SWEAR ALL HE DID
WAS WORK
HE SAID
THE DEVIL DREAMS
ON AN IDLE HORSE
SO YA LISTEN
TO ME SQUIRT
DON'T GET TOO HIGH
ON A BOTTLE
AND GET RIGHT
WITH THE MAN
FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS
FIND A GRACE
AND ALL THE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE
AND HELP SOMEBODY
IF YOU CAN
NOW GRANNY SAID
SONNY STICK TO
YOUR GUNS
IF YOU BELIEVE
IN SOMETHIN'
NO MATTER WHAT
'CAUSE IT'S BETTER
TO BE HATED
FOR WHO YOU ARE
THAN BE LOVED
FOR WHO YOU'RE NOT
SHE WAS FIVE FEET
OF CONCRETE
NEW-YORK
BORN AND RAISED
ON A SLICK CITY STREET
SHE'D COLD STARE YA DOWN
STAND HER GROUND
STILL KICKIN'
AND SCREAMIN'
AT NINETY-THREE
I REMEMBER
JUST HOW FRAIL
SHE LOOKED
IN THAT
HOSPITAL BED
TAKIN' HER
LAST FEW
BREATHS OF LIFE
SMILIN' AS SHE SAID
DON'T GET TOO HIGH
ON A BOTTLE
JUST A LITTLE SIP
EVERY NOW AND THEN
FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS
FIND A GRACE
AND ALL THE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE
AND HELP SOMEBODY
IF YOU CAN
AND GET RIGHT
WITH THE MAN
WOOP
WOOP
COME ON NOW
I NEVER LET A COWBOY
MAKE THE COFFEE
YEAH THAT'S WHAT
GRANNY ALWAYS SAID
TO MY GRANDDAD
AND HE'D SAY
NEVER TELL A JOKE
THAT AIN'T THAT FUNNY
MORE THAN ONCE
AND IF YOU WANNA
HEAR GOD LAUGH
TELL HIM YOUR PLANS
DON'T GET TOO HIGH
ON THE BOTTLE
GET RIGHT
WITH THE MAN SON
FIGHT YOUR FIGHTS
FIND YOUR GRACE
AND ALL THE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE
AND HELP SOMEBODY
IF YOU CAN
AND GET RIGHT
WITH THE MAN
WOO
YEAH
AND GET RIGHT
WITH THE MAN
