My Grandpa Lyrics

He don't say much about nothing except when he's got something to say

But he knows, in the end, what he thinks don't matter anyway

He ain't much for going or talking in the phone

If he gets his way, he'll sit there, in his chair at home

He's an old man

But he's my best friend

He's my grandpa

He's got an 8th grade education but he's an educated man

He knows all about the hard times and working with his hands

'Cause he worked on cars for a living When he got home from the war

He threw away his uniforms because he didn't want them anymore

He's a hard man

But he's my best friend

He's my grandpa

He turned eighty-eight last summer and he still mows his lawn

Somebody else could do it but he thinks it keeps him young

He used to drive out to Powhatten,

where he'd drink enough to drown

Yeah, He was rowdy in his younger days

Thank God he settled down

He likes them old Clint Eastwood movies 'cause he's tough old SOB

Growing up, everybody used to say they saw a lot of him in me

How could I not be just like him

Even if it weren't for the last name

We spent all our time together, yeah, me and him we're one in the same

He's a good man

A do-it-like-you-should man

He's my best friend

He's my grandpa

Yeah, he's my grandpa
