Pulling Strings

VERSE

Grandma didn’t like when I moved across the country

Gave up on this pipe dream and found something steady

Grandma hoped I’d save every 20 that she sent me

For new guitar strings but I spent it on a nose ring

PRE

She didn’t tell me what to do

But somehow I just knew

CHORUS

That every Christmas she played my favorite song

Just so I would sing

Her friends knew every word

She had my demos on repeat

Said you have a gift for a reason

She never got to see it

But every day I live this dream

I know Grandma’s up in Heaven

Pulling strings

VERSE 2

Now every time I step on stage I can feel her with me

She’d say dress to impress so I always wear her jewelry

Every time a light shines down to guide me on this road

It might look like luck, but it’s her love I know

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Pulling strings on this old guitar

And the one’s that’ve gotten me this far

Must’ve asked God for a favor

I wish I could thank her

CHORUS

So every Christmas I still play those songs

I know she’s listening

Smiling cuz she got me

Right where I’m supposed to be

She knew I had a gift for a reason

And now I finally believe it

‘Cause every day I live this dream

I know Grandma’s up in Heaven

Pulling strings
