The Grandpa That I Know Lyrics

Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know
Brand new shoes they hurt my feet
This necktie is chokin me
Cuttin off my air supply
When I hang my head to cry
When I hang my head and cry.
I see tears on daddys face
Someones hummin, Amazin Grace
Rain beats on this graveside tent
Preacher swears he did repent
Preacher swears he did repent.
Chorus:
Theyve got him layin there in pinstripes
Howd they get him in that suit
I guess the Lord with recognize him
Without his overalls and mules
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.
Ya know no tractor never pulled his plow
He walked and cussed, and loved that ground
His hands sowed each single seed
Then prayed for rain and fight the weeds
Prayed for rain and fight the weeds.
He said the simple life, suits me fine
Never dreamed beyond the county line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
Hell be back in her arms tonight
Hell sleep there in her arms tonight.
Chorus2:
Theyve got him layin there in pinstripes
Howd they get him in that suit
I guess the Lord with recognize him
Without his overalls and mules
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.
They played a pretty organ number
Swore it was his favorite tune
I know hed prefer a fiddle
Playin Carol Country Blues.
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.
