the grandpa that i know

Lyrics

brand new shoes, they hurt my feet, this neck-tie is chokin' me, cuttin' off my air supply, when i hang my head and cry, when i hang my head and cry, i see tears on daddy's face, someone's hummin' amazing grace, rain beats on this graveside tent, preacher says he did repent, preacher swears he did repent, they've got him layin' there in pin-stripes, how'd they get him in that suit, i guess the lord will recognize him, without his overalls and mules, they all say he looks so natural, all i see's a cold dark hole, i won't commit this day to memory, that ain't the grandpa that i know, that ain't the grandpa that i know, you know a tractor never pulled his plough, he walked and cursed and loved that ground, his hand sowed each single seed, and he'd pray for rain and fight the weeds, he'd pray for rain and fight the weeds, he said, this simple life, it suits me fine, never dreamed beyond the county line, grandma was his boyhood bride, he'll be back in her arms tonight, he'll sleep there in her arms tonight, they've got him layin' there in pin-stripes, how'd they get him in that suit, i guess the lord will recognize him, without his overalls and mule, they all say he looks so natural, all i see's a cold dark hole, i won't commit this day to memory, that ain't the grandpa that i know, they played a pretty organ number, swore it was his favorite tune, but i know he preferred a fiddle, playin' carroll county blues, they all say he looks so natural, but all i see's a cold dark hole, i won't commit this day to memory, that ain't the grandpa that i know, that ain't the grandpa that i know
