Granddaddy's Chair

I remember you in the rocking chair

I was in my boots and my underwear

Playing rodeo all night long

You used to count till it hit 8 seconds

When you hit 6 is the time you left us

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

I know you're watching over me

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

Quick to love and slow at 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

You were 8 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

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

Quick to love and slow at 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

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

Rest in peace, I love you granddaddy
