Grandma

some people may wonder
why i haven't written a song for her sooner
but to be honest i never quite knew the right words
to express my gradattitude
for that woman thats been through hell
but keeps a positive attitude
she's seen me at my best
and she's seen me at my worst
man she knows way too much hurt
but she just keeps movin along
oh

she's tough as nails
worn and torn
like old leather
never lets the devil prevail
she aint afraid to say whats on her mind
sure aint scared of father time
cuz she knows when she's called home
where she's gonna go
she'll be meetin grandpa at those prealy gates
its all in the hands of fate
she's my best friend
the one i look up to
a hero even though she don't see it
i believe it
oh grandma
i love you

she's watched love ones come and go
she learned you aint got no control
its ok to lose that hold
she's watched her babies grow
and have a couple of their own
i'm sure glad i got to introduce her to my little girl
cuz those are the most important people in my world
oh

she's tough as nails
worn and torn
like old leather
never lets the devil prevail
she aint afraid to say whats on her mind
sure aint scared of father time
cuz she knows when she's called home
where she's gonna go
she'll be meetin grandpa at those prealy gates
its all in the hands of fate
she's my best friend
the one i look up to
a hero even though she don't see it
i believe it
oh grandma
i love you

someday when its time for her to leave
i know its gonna kill me
but i know she'll be lookin down
and i hope she's proud

she's tough as nails
worn and torn
like old leather
never lets the devil prevail
she aint afraid to say whats on her mind
sure aint scared of father time
cuz she knows when she's called home
where she's gonna go
she'll be meetin grandpa at those prealy gates
its all in the hands of fate
she's my best friend
the one i look up to
a hero even though she don't see it
i believe it
oh grandma
i love you
