Well, Grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar, blue
collar of a man.

He came from the school where you didn't need
nothin',

If you couldn't make it with your own two
hands.

He was backwoods, backwards, used words like:

"No Sir," "Yes, Ma'am,"
"By God," "Be darned,"

"Hell yeah, I'm American."

And all the years he walked this earth,

I swear all he did was work.

He said: "The devil dreams on an idle
horse,

"So you listen to me squirt.



"Don't get too high on a bottle,

"And get right with the Man.

"Fight your fights, find a grace,

"And all the things that you can change,

"And help somebody if you can."



Now Granny said: Sonny, stick to your guns,

"If you believe in something, no matter
what,

"'Cause it's better to be hated for who you
are,

"Than be loved for who you're not.

She was five feet of concrete

New York born an' raised on a slick city
street.

She'd cold-stare you down, stand her ground,

Still kickin' and screamin' at 93.

I remember just how frail she looked in that
hospital bed:

Takin' her last few breaths of life, smilin' as
she said:



"Don't get too high on a bottle,

"Just a little sip ev'ry now and then.

"Fight your fights, find a grace,

"And all the things that you can change,

"And help somebody if you can.

"And get right with the Man.



Instrumental Break.

(C'mon now.)



"I never let a cowboy make the
coffee."

Yeah, thats what Granny always said to my
Grandad.

And he'd say: "Never tell a joke that ain't
that funny more than once."

"And if you wanna hear God laugh, tell Him
your plans.



"Don't get too high on a bottle,

"Get right with the Man, son.

"Fight your fights, find a grace,

"And all the things that you can change,

"And help somebody if you can.

"And get right with the Man."



Yeah.

(Get too high.)

(Help somebody if you can.)
