Cody Johnson The Grandpa Song
I wish that my Grandad was still here today cause' I'd
love to here what he'd have to say about three dollars
and fifty-nine cents
for a gallon of gas. And I'd show him my wife and what
I've done with my life, and see if he liked all these
songs that I write.
Oh, I wish I knew what he would think about the fact
that, if you're sixteen and pregnant, you'll get on tv,
but yet we're laying
off school teachers fast as can be.
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now.
(Chorus)
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A is so
damn tied up in our foreign aid when the American
farmers got to sell all the
cows to keep the bank from taking the house. I wish I
could write him in on my ballot for the next president.
Cause' there's men like
John Wayne, Augustus McCrae, the Lone Ranger and his
indian friend, but there will never be another man like
him.
I'm glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star who
thinks they have the right to go as far as bitching
about the hundred million
dollars they make a year. Cause' there's scars on my
nuckles and sweat on my brow and I know that Grandpa,
he'd sure be proud of my
little part that I've made to our family tree.
He'd probably ask me why people like Casey Anthony can
get off scott free and why our taxes are still killing
folks just like you
and me. Oh I wish I knew what he'd think about us now.
(Chorus)
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A is so
damn tied up in our foreign aid, when the American
farmers got to sell all the
cows to keep the bank from taking the house. I wish I
could write him in on my ballot for the next president.
Cause' there's men like
John Wayne, Augustus McCrae, the Lone Ranger and his
indian friend, but there will never be another man like
him.
Yeah, there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae, the
Lone Ranger and his indian friend, but there will never
be another man like
him.
