Granddaddy's Chair

[Verse 1]

I remember you in that rocking chair

I was in my boots and my underwear

Playing rodeo all night long

You used to count 'til it hit eight seconds

When you hit sixty's the time you left us

But you're in my heart, so I'll never be alone

I know you're watching over me

[Chorus]

I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be

Quick to love and slow to anger

No, you never met a stranger

I hope one day when you're looking down on me

I make you smile, I make you proud

I may not be there now

But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there

In my granddaddy's chair

[Verse 2]

You were eight track, tapes, and Conway Twitty

Road trip with Nana to Panama City

Everybody knew she was your girl

You taught me love, you taught me living

Cars and jokes and good catfishing

I gave you hell and you gave me the world

I'm sure missing you right now

[Chorus]

I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be

Quick to love and slow to anger

No, you never met a stranger

I hope one day when you're looking down on me

I make you smile, I make you proud

I may not be there now

But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there

In my granddaddy's chair

My granddaddy's chair

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Yeah, I hope one day when you're looking down on me

I make you smile, I make you proud

I may not be there now

But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there

In my granddaddy's chair

Oh, yeah

In my granddaddy's chair

[Outro]

Rest in peace, I love you, granddaddy
