When I Was Young and Grandma Wasn’t Old

[Verse] Front porch sitting in an old rocking chair The sun is hot in the Texas sky Garden growing clothes out on the line Dusty road when a car goes by Story telling of days long ago And the only place she'd ever been Singing softly This World Is Not My Home Memories take me back again [Chorus] When I was young and Grandma wasn't old When she guided me as I watched life unfold Anything we didn't have we didn't really need to hold When I was young and Grandma wasn't old [Verse 2] She'd throw a party and all of her friends Would gather around the quilting frames They'd always call out for me to come inside And give me nickels and dimes to sing It makes me happy that I can still go back My memories are so clear Of how It used to be when I never dreamed Of ever looking back from here [Chorus] [Outro] When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
