1
Well grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar,
2
blue collar of a man...
3
He came from the school
4
where you didn't need nothin' if you couldn't make it with your own two hands
5
He was backwoods, backwards, used words like:
6
no sir, yes ma'am, by god, be darned, hell yeah I'm American..
7
and all the years he walked this earth
8
I swear all he did was work.
9
He said the devil dreams on an idle horse
10
so you listen to me squirt..
11
Don't get too high on a bottle,
12
and get right with the man.
13
Fight your fights, find your grace
14
and all the things that you can't change, and help somebody if you can
15
Now Granny said sonny
16
stick to your gun if you believe in something
17
no matter what
18
cause it's better to be hated for who you are
19
Than beloved for what you're not.
20
She was 5 feet of concrete
21
New York born and raised on a slick city street.
22
She'll stare you down, stand her ground,
23
still kickin' and screamin' at 93
24
I remember just how frail she looked
25
in that hospital bed
26
taking her last few breaths of life
27
and smiling as she said
28
Don't get too high on a bottle,
29
just a little sip every now and then,
30
fight your fights,
31
find your grace,
32
and all the things that you can't change
33
and help somebody if you can,
34
and get right with the man
35
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
36
yeah that's what Granny always said to my Grandad
37
and he'd say never tell a joke
38
that ain't that funny more than once
39
and if you want to hear God laugh,
40
tell Him your plans
41
Don't get too high on a bottle,
42
get right with the man, son.
43
fight your fights,
44
find your grace,
45
and all the things you two can't change
46
and help somebody if you can
47
and get right with the man
48
and get right with the man
