Granddaddy's Gun歌词

[00:18.66]It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails
[00:24.78]And it's worth a bunch of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
[00:31.37]The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell
[00:37.04]Granddaddy's gun
[00:40.74]He bought it new out of a Sears & Roebuck catalog
[00:46.83]And it shot a many shell over the top of an old bird dog
[00:53.25]And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
[00:58.81]Granddaddy's gun
[01:03.16]It's just a double barrel 12
[01:06.27]The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
[01:09.32]It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one
[01:15.33]I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
[01:19.17]"A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her"
[01:22.17]He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
[01:28.36]And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son
[01:33.53]Granddaddy's gun
[01:40.59]He handed it to me on the day I turned 13
[01:47.22]With a half-shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
[01:53.22]I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
[01:58.89]With granddaddy's gun
[02:03.03]It's just a double barrel 12
[02:06.27]The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
[02:09.48]It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one
[02:15.22]I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
[02:18.88]"A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her"
[02:22.10]He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
[02:28.21]And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son
[02:33.42]Granddaddy's gun
[02:40.56]There's a long beard living on the living room wall
[02:43.95]That I got with a box call
[02:47.03]And granddaddy's gun
[02:53.27]There's a shot up stop sign on 49
[02:56.53]That me and Billy Joe took out one night
[02:59.95]With granddaddy's gun
[03:05.13]Granddaddy's gun
[03:12.48]It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails
[03:18.49]And it's worth a bunch of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
