The Grandpa Song Songtext
Hey, CoJo
Run through that, uh, your grandpa song right quick
All right, I′ll be a minute
I wish that my grandad was still here today
'Cause I′d love to hear what he'd have to say
About three dollars and fifty-nine cents
For a gallon of gas
And I'd show him my wife and what I′ve done with my life
I′d see if he liked all these songs that I write
Oh, I wish I knew what he would think about
The fact that
If you're 16 and pregnant, you′ll get on TV
But yet we're laying off school teachers fast as can be
Oh, I wish I knew what he′d think about us now
He'd probably ask me why the good ol′ US of A
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
When the American farmer's got to sell all the cows
To keep the bank from taking the house
I wish I could write him in on my ballot for the next president
Cause' there′s men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
But there will never be another man like him
I′m glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star
That thinks they have the right to go as far
As bitching about the hundred million dollars they make a year
Cause′ there's scars on my knuckles and sweat on my brow
And I know that grandpa, he′d sure be proud
Of my little part that I've made to our family tree
He′d probably ask me why people like Casey Anthony can get off scot-free
And why our taxes are still killing folks just like you and me
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now
He'd probably ask me why the good ol′ US of A
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
When the American farmer′s got to sell all the cows
To keep the bank from taking the house
I wish I could write him in on my ballot for the next president
Cause' there′s men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
But there will never be another man like him
Yeah, there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
But there will never be another man like him
What you think?
Dude, man, that′s awesome
Got me all choked up
That sounded great
You don't need that stinking band
You don′t need no stinking band
Put that on the record
You deserve a drink after that
Run through that, uh, your grandpa song right quick
All right, I′ll be a minute
I wish that my grandad was still here today
'Cause I′d love to hear what he'd have to say
About three dollars and fifty-nine cents
For a gallon of gas
And I'd show him my wife and what I′ve done with my life
