The Grandpa That I Know Lyrics

The Grandpa That I Know - Shawn Camp

Brand new shoes they hurt my feet

This neck time's chokin' me

Cuttin' off my air supply

When I hang my head to cry

When I hang my head to cry

I see tears on Daddy's face

Someone's hummin' amazing grace

Rain beats on this graveside tier

Preacher says he did repent

Preacher says he did repent

They've got him layin' there in pin stripes

How'd they get him in that suit

I guess the Lord will recognise him

Without his overalls an' mule

An' they all say he looks so natural

But all I see's a cold dark hole

I won't commit this day to memory

That ain't the grandpa that I know

That ain't the grandpa that I know

Tractor never pulled his plough

He walked an' cussed an' loved that ground

His hand sowed each and every seed

An' he'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds

He'd pray for rain an' fight the weeds

He said the simple life it suits me fine

Never dreamed beyond the county line

Grandma was his boyhood bride

He'll be there in her arms tonight

He'll sleep there in her arms tonight

They've got him layin' there in pin stripes

How'd they get him in that suit

I guess the Lord will recognise him

Without his overalls an' mule

An' they all say he looks so natural

But all I see's a cold dark hole

I won't commit this day to memory

That ain't the grandpa that I know

They played a pretty organ number

Swore it was his favorite tune

But I know he preferred a fiddle

Playing carroll county blues

They all say he looks so natural

But all I see's a cold dark hole

I won't commit this day to memory

That ain't the grandpa that I know

That ain't the grandpa that I know
