GRANDDAD KNOWS

GRAND DAD KNOWS
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A GO AT LIFE BUT THINGS WEREN’T GOING WELL.                                        SO, I WENT TO SEE MY GRAND DAD TO SEE IF HE COULD TELL.                                                             I HAD LOST FAITH IN MYSELF, PUT MY DREAMS ON A SHELF AND WAS DROWNDING IN MY SORROW.                                                                                                                                                        THEN I HEARD HIM SAY ‘IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY, YOU CAN START AGAIN TOMORROW.
GRAND DAD KNOWS AND IT REALLY SHOWS, HE’S BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE.                     SEE THE LINES ON HIS FACE WELL IT’S JUST A TRACE OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT HE BORE.            HE’S ONE OF A KIND THAT’S HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THERE JUST WON’T BE ANYMORE.
MET A GIRL AND I WAS REALLY ON FIRE.                                                                                                     I WAS DIZZY FROM LOVES’ DESIRE.                                                                                                               GOT MARRIED BUT I DIDN’T MAKE IT.                                                                                                         I DIDN’T THINK THAT I COULD TAKE IT.                                                                                                        I’VE BEEN DROWNDING IN MY SORROW.                                                                                                   STILL, I THINK I’LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.                                                                                               I KNOW THAT’S WHAT MY GRAND DAD WOULD SAY.

NOW MY SISTER SHE’S ANOTHER CASE.                                                                                                 GOT DARK BLACK HAIR AND A PRETTY LITTLE FACE.                                                                                 SHE WAS LIVING LIFE TOO FAST.                                                                                                                   I KNEW IT COULDN’T LAST.                                                                                                                 THAT’S WHEN I HEARD MY GRAND DAD SAY.                                                                                             GIRL YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN.                                                                                                                 STOP WEARING YOUR HEART FOR A CROWN.                                                                                       IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY AND YOU CAN START AGAIN TOMORROW.
GRAND DAD KNOWS AND IT REALLY SHOWS, HE’S BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE.                     SEE THE LINES ON HIS FACE, WELL THAT’S JUST A TRACE OF THE HARDSHIP THAT HE BORE.      
 HE’S ONE OF A KIND, THAT’S REALLY HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THERE JUST WON’T BE ANTMORE.
SHE LISTENED AND SHE’S REALLY CHANGED.                                                                                             HER WHOLE LIFE SHE’S REARRANGED.                                                                                                       ONE DAY I HEARD HER SAY.                                                                                                                      THESE BOYS THEY JUST WANT TO PLAY.                                                                                                   BUT I’M NOT LISTENING AND I JUST WON’T STAY.                                                                              I’M NOT UPSET THERE’S JUST NO WAY.                                                                                                      BECAUSE TODAY IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY, AND I CAN START AGAIN TOMORROW.
GRAND DAD KNOWS AND IT REALLY SHOWS, HE’S BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE.                    SEE THE LINES ON HIS FACE, WELL THATS JUST A TRACE OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT HE BORE. HE’S ONE OF A KIND THAT’S HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THEY JUST WON’T MAKE ANYMORE.
NOW GRANDMA HAS THAT PIERCING LOOK AND A PEACEFUL SMILE.                                            SHE FEEDS EVERYONE IN TOWN AND SAYS WHY DON’T YOU STAY FOR AWHILE?                             SHE SAYS SHE DON’T KNOW WHERE SHE’D BE IF SHE HADN’T MET HIM.                                         WHEN THEY FOUND EACH OTHER, THINGS WERE LOOKING PRETTY GRIM.                                       THEN SHE SMILES AND SAYS WHY DON’T YOU SIT AND DON’T YOU FRET; IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY AND YOU CAN START AGAIN TOMORROW. 
GRANDMA KNOWS AND IT REALLY SHOWS, SHE’S BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE.                     SEE THE LINES ON HER FACE WELL THAT’S JUST A TRACE OF THE HARDSHIPS THAT SHE BORE. SHE’S ONE OF A KIND THAT’S HARD TO FIND BECAUSE THEY JUST WON’T MAKE ANYMORE.
