Tell Me Your Story

Every story my grandpa told I carry with me until I go see him again That was grandma's best friend From Sunday supper up on a hill To working out in that cornfield And learning how to behave That's how I was raised A Friday night bonfire hanging out in a field A couple buddies grab a drink and a fishing reel Find an old back road no one knows Tear it up until the rooster crows Sunday mornings are for dressing up and going to church Giving thanks to God for what life's worth Roots run deeper than a Georgia pine Tell me your story I'll tell you mine Every fall it's the county fair Seeing people you know standing everywhere Just catching up It's a small-town kinda love A handshake on top of just hello Talk about your plans for tomorrow Some would be amazed at how I was raised A Friday night bonfire hanging out in a field A couple buddies grab a drink and a fishing reel Find an old back road no one knows Tear it up until the rooster crows Sunday mornings are for dressing up and going to church Giving thanks to God for what life's worth Roots run deeper than a Georgia pine Tell me your story I'll tell you mine Well my mom and dad they taught me to be a man And lend a hand to those in need Don't be afraid Just work hard and you will succeed It's how I was raised A Friday night bonfire hanging out in a field A couple buddies grab a drink and a fishing reel Find an old back road no one knows Tear it up until the rooster crows Sunday mornings are for dressing up and going to church Giving thanks to God for what life's worth Roots run deeper than a Georgia pine Tell me your story I'll tell you mine I'll tell you mine Oh I'll tell you mine I'll tell you mine Oh I'll tell you mine
