The Grandpa That I Know
Tim Mensy, Shawn Camp
Found on:
"On Your Way Home"
Brand new shoes they hurt my feet
This lace collars chokin me
Cuttin off my air supply
When I hang my head to cry
When I hang my head to cry
I see tears on daddys face
Someone humming Amazing Gace
Rain beats on this grave side tent
Preacher said he did repent
Preacher said he did repent
They've got him playin there in pinstripes
How'd they get him in that suit
I guess the lord will recognize him without overalls and mule
They all say he looks so natural
All I see is a cold dark hole
I wont commit this day to memory
That aint the grandpa that I know
That aint the grandpa that I know
Tractor never pulled his plow
He walked and cussed and love that ground
His hand sowed each and every seed
He prayed for rain and fight the weeds
He prayed for rain and fight the weeds
He said the simple life just suits me fine
Never dreamed the county line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
He'll be there in her arms tonight
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight
They've got him playin there in pinstripes
How'd they get him in that suit
I guess the lord will recognize him without overalls and mule
They all say he looks so natural
All I see is a cold dark hole
I wont commit this day to memory
That aint the grandpa that I know
That aint the grandpa that I know
That aint the grandpa that I know
They played a pretty organ number
Swore it was it favorite tune
But I know he preferred a fiddle
Playing Carrol County blues
They all say he look so natural
All I see is a cold dark hole
I wont commit this day to memory
That aint the grandpa that I know
That aint the grandpa that I know
