Grandpa's Song

My Grandpa's on his death bed

I try to make him happy

There's only so much that a man can do

When he can't wake up in the morning

And when I was just a little kid

He sat me on his workbench

He taught me how to fix most anything

As I cranked on that old wrench

How do you reconcile a whole life's song

And I hope when I'm dead and gone

That I feel right at home

But if you ain't there I ain't goin

This morning he took his last breath

And next month I'm gettin married

I wish he could be there to cheer for me

Guess I'll pass along his blessing

There are so many ways

To tell some of his story

I have to stop and wonder why we're here

And why you left in such a hurry

How do you reconcile a whole life's song

And I hope when I'm dead and gone

That I feel right at home

But if you ain't there I ain't goin
