Verse 1
[G]Granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar, [Am]blue collar of a man.
[C9]He came from a school where you didn't need nothin'
[G]If you couldn't make it with your own two hands.
[G]He was back woods, back wards, used words like: [Am]no sir, yes
mam, by god, [C9]be darned and hell yeah I'm American[G]
[Adim]In all the years he wa[Em]lked this earth,
[Adim]I swear all he did was wo[Em]rk.
He said the [Am7]devil dreams on that[Em7] idle horse
[C]So listen to me squirt.
Chorus
[G]Don't get too high on the [Am7]bottle and g[C9]et right w/ the man[G]
[G]Fight your fights, find your grace and [Am7]all the things that you can't change.
[C9]And help somebody if you can[G]
Verse2
[G]Now Granny said son stick to your guns, [Am]if you believe in something no matter what.
[C9]Cause it's better to be hated for who you are,
[G]Than be loved for who your not.
[G]She was five feet of concrete,
[Am]NY born and raised on slick city streets
[C9]She'd cold stare you down, stand her ground
[G]Still kickin' and screaming at 93.
[Adim]I remember just how fr[Em]ail she looked in[Adim] that hospital bed.[Em]
[Am7]Takin' her last f[Em7]ew breaths of life, Sm[C]iling as she said...

[Am7]Yeah, that''s what Granny always s[C9]aid to my G[G]randdad.
He said [Am7]never tell a [C9]joke that ain't that [G]funny more than
