| Grandma gave me this Old Book
|
| I never read it much, I probably should
|
| All the answers wrote in red
|
| I never listen to a word she said
|
| I’m selfish lord, help me out
|
| Grandma’s sick, she needs me now
|
| (I know she needs me)
|
| And I know it’s time to let her go
|
| She’s fadin' fast and heaven knows
|
| That I ain’t prayed like this in so long
|
| I said «Lord forgive her for her sins
|
| She’s been through hell and back again.»
|
| And I will too once she’s gone
|
| That’s a smile I can’t get back
|
| I’m losing all I ever had
|
| That’s why I keep this Bible on the dash
|
| I don’t remember what she said to me;
|
| Between the tears and the beers I hit my knees
|
| The doctor said she won’t last long
|
| I just pray she has the strength to carry on
|
| I never thought it’d be this hard
|
| But watching daddy cry; |
| it broke my heart
|
| (Yeah, he broke my heart)
|
| And I know it’s time to let her go
|
| She’s fadin' fast and heaven knows
|
| That I ain’t prayed like this in so long
|
| I said «Lord forgive her for her sins
|
| She’s been through hell and back again.»
|
| And I will too once she’s gone |
| That’s a smile I can’t get back
|
| I’m losing all I ever had
|
| That’s why I keep this Bible on the dash
