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
