Tell Me Anything

Hey grandma, how are ya?

I know you've seen better days

You used to talk about the way

That you would dance under the stars

And those knees are gettin' weaker

But your heart is still a-beatin'

That old man can't help the feelin'

The way he did in that old Ford

And I know them kids wore you out

I know time is like a thorn

But those bad days make the good ones

Seem like heaven here on Earth

If you could, you'd jump right out of that chair

Give me a grand old hug

Tell me to tell my brother

To quit actin' up so much

I'm just as bad at sayin' goodbye

As I am stoppin' by

So for now it's "How ya doin'?

Tell me anything at all"

I can still smell the onions

Hell, I'm cryin' at the thought of 'em

I could taste all the lovin'

In that cast iron on the stove

And you're a cussin', fiery woman

Pawpaw's gentle hand to hold 'em

When his ropin' days were over

You were steady as a stone

If you could, you'd jump right out of that chair

And give me a grand old hug

Tell me to tell my mother

To keep singin' at the church

I'm just as bad at sayin' goodbye

As I am stoppin' by

So for now it's "How ya doin'?

Tell me anything at all"

You were someone to rival

For your handlin' of a rifle

And I'm so proud to call you mine

When you planted all these trees

I was just at your knees

Now these giant live oaks are as tall as they are deep

If you could, you'd jump right out of that chair

And give me a grand old hug

Tell me another story

And while Pawpaw interrupts

And I'm just as bad at sayin' goodbye

As I am stoppin' by

So for now it's "How ya doin'?

Tell me anything at all"

So for now it's "How ya doin'?

Tell me anything at all"
