Kristen Tuff Scott Grandpa Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, it was 1922
And he was born in the middle of June
Back when a little was more than most had

[Chorus]
I used to ask him, "Grandpa
Tell me 'bout back then
Was it really uphill both ways
Or were you just playin' again?
Tell me 'bout the cotton
And the things you used to do
Just tell me, Grandpa
I wanna hear it from you"

[Verse 2]
Well, it was 1942
When he left for World War II
He did what he could and he came home
And then in 1946
He got married and he had some kids
He said he rememberеd it like yesterday

[Chorus]
Grandpa, tеll me 'bout
The way it was back then
Was it really uphill both ways
Or were you just playin' again? Tell me 'bout the Navy
And 'bout World War II
Just tell me, Grandpa
I wanna hear it from you
[Verse 3]
Well, it was 1948
And he worked hard so they all ate
He was just a-watchin' his children and his cotton grow, yeah
Then in 1988
I was born that summer day
But he still never ran out of things to do
He taught me about tyin' Navy knots
Buildin' things and workin' hard
I remember it like it was yesterday

[Chorus]
Grandpa, tell me 'bout
The way it was back then
Was it really uphill both ways
Or were you just playin' again?
Tell me 'bout Heaven
And 'bout those Pearly Gates
Just tell me grandpa
'Cause I can't wait
