Granddaddy's Watch

Granddaddy's Watch

(Album: Heart On Ice - 2023)

I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
He promised it to me when I was a kid
Now I wear it just like he did
A-telling stories on the porch swing
Lighting up a Phillies cigar
But it's more than just a time piece on my left arm

It's a hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at telling time
But it tells me a lot about living this life
On granddaddy's watch

It's probably only worth about twenty bucks
Band's faded now, second hand gets stuck
But that ain't the stuff that matters to me
It's a symbol of the man that I wanna be
It's a constant reminder from a wise old timer

To hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at telling time
But it tells me a lot about living this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch

He's watching over me up there, I know
And down here, he's with me everywhere I go

Saying you hug your mama, save your money
Talk to Jesus, love your country
Hunt and fish as much as you can
Don't take a minute for granted
These days it ain't good at telling time
But it tells me a lot about living this life
On granddaddy's watch
Grandaddy's watch

I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
It only works about half the time
