From the recording Hell of a Life
Lyrics
Drive out until the road ends ease it left at the big bend
Don’t get stuck in the mud when you’re pulling in
You know its country out here where my Grandpa lives, that’s right
Spend my summers with him work and play
He’d reminisce about the old days
And All the good friends he lost a long the way
He’d say their memories keep him smiling everyday
Grandson I hope you’ll remember me the same way
Grandpa don’t live here any more
They’re tearing down his barn cause of rotted out boards
It’s like a time capsule cleaning out his draws
He was my best friend but I can’t see him anymore
He don’t live here anymore
Snuck my first beer on his back porch
While he was fixing his fence to keep in his horse
The one he taught me to ride when I was a boy
Taught me to be a man he was the Real McCoy
Grandpa don’t live here any more
They’re tearing down his barn and cutting back what’s overgrown
It’s like a time capsule all the things he still owned
He was my best friend but I can’t see him anymore
He don’t live here anymore
He don’t live here anymore
It’s hard when you’re looking back
And missing what you use to have
You hope nothing went unsaid
Cause I thought you were a hell of a man
Grandpa don’t live here any more
Tearing down his barn cause of rotted out boards
It’s like a time capsule cleaning out his draws
He was my best friend but I can’t see him anymore
He don’t live here anymore
Grandpa don’t live here any more
But all the things he taught me now I know what they’re for
Got my kids on his farm, he’d be happy I know
He was my best friend but I can’t see him anymore
He don’t live here anymore
He don’t live here anymore
