That's What Grandpas Do

That's What Grandpas Do

(album: Neon Smoke - 2018)

Got an 8 x 10 of me and him, when I was about nine
The game was over; I was on his shoulders by the 50 yard line
He was a tall and lean proud marine with a faded green tattoo
Always had my back when I ticked-off dad 'cause that's what grandpas do

From 55 to 65 I watched his hair turn grey
And the only time I saw him cry was the Sunday I got saved
From turning a wrench to fixing fence, and picking me up at school
To being my best friend – that's what grandpas do

He taught me how to drive, and how to survive in the woods if I got lost
And the older I get the more I see I'm a chip off a chip off his old block
He taught me how to tie a tie, put an edge on a knife, and how to sight in my 22
How to do unto others, 'cause that's what grandpas do

He taught me not to be lazy, open doors for ladies, and look a man in the eye
Think before you speak, pray before you eat, and how to choke down your pride
He gave me my last name, this cross on this chain, and my first Red Man chew
So don't tell your grandma boy 'cause that's what grandpas do, yeah!

From an old Chevelle, out there raising hell to quoting from King James
From Superman to barely can remember his own name
They go from an old jon boat with a fishing pole to a hospital room
Better love 'em while you can, man, 'cause that's what grandpas do
You'd better love 'em while you can, 'cause that's what grandpas do
