| I think what made granddaddy great is that he didn’t work all day
|
| I’d love the time we spent and I’d go everywhere he went
|
| We’d end up on some old deer trail
|
| And I’d listen hard as he would spin his tales
|
| We were in a field of stumps he said I got a new one for you hon
|
| These trees once stood tall and I’m the man that made them fall
|
| I cut 'em up, sanded them down
|
| And you wouldn’t believe what I found
|
| Past the bark and all the scars
|
| Our home was in the heart of those old trees
|
| God bless who sowed those seeds
|
| A hundred years and they just grew
|
| And only heaven knew what they’d be, to our family
|
| All that time to become what they should
|
| You know Our home was in the heart of the wood
|
| He smiled, said there’s my favorite one, pointed at a cherry stump
|
| He said I couldn’t afford the one at Sears so the good lord planted one right
|
| here
|
| He carved out what he saw within and he gave it to my dad when he turned ten
|
| Past the bark and all the scars
|
| There was a guitar in the heart of that old tree
|
| All from just one seed
|
| A hundred years and it just grew
|
| And only heaven knew just what it’d be
|
| And how that tree could sing
|
| All the time to become what it should
|
| There were songs in the heart of the wood
|
| He said we can mark a tree to keep from getting lost
|
| And it’ll always point our way home like that old rugged cross
|
| A hundred years and it just grew and only heaven knew what it’d be
|
| And who’d hang on that tree it held the Son of God like it should
|
| But I know it broke the heart of the wood
|
| I think what made granddaddy great was that he didn’t work all day
|
| I’d love the time we spent
|
| I’d go everywhere that old man went |
