Lyrics

Might’ve gone quiet but I’m not gone
Taking some time to right some wrongs
Remembering that I get just one life
And I don’t want to live it dead inside
 
Ooo
I wish I could meet my grandpa’s ghost
I’d shake his hand right through the smoke
I think he’d look me straight in the eye
And say, “my boy I know what it’s like”
Ooo
Because you can give it your best, your blood and your sweat
You can gain the whole world with a hole in your chest
Make a million dollars, still wind up in debt
With a heart that bleeds
You can keep to yourself, treat men like they’re threats
Fill your still moments with cheap cigarettes
Live for a life that you’ll never possess
With a heart that bleeds
You can quit and start over, move out to the west
Leave a family behind that you try to forget
But one day son, you’ll be dying in bed
With a heart that bleed
Ooo
Someday when my grandson’s here
I’ll sit him and down and tell him clear
84 years is a long, long tim
But it seems so short when you’re on this side
