Granddaddy's Watch

歌詞

I hardly take it off this wrist of mine It only works about half the time He promised it to me when I was a kid Now I wear it just like he did A-tellin' stories on the porch swing Lightin' up a Phillies cigar But it's more than just a time piece on my left arm It's a hug your mama, save your money Talk to Jesus, love your country Hunt and fish as much as you can Don't take a minute for granted These days it ain't good at tellin' time But it tells me a lot about livin' this life On granddaddy's watch It's probably only worth about twenty bucks Band's faded now, second hand gets stuck But that ain't the stuff that matters to me It's a symbol of the man that I wanna be It's a constant reminder from a wise old timer To hug your mama, save your money Talk to Jesus, love your country Hunt and fish as much as you can Don't take a minute for granted These days it ain't good at tellin' time But it tells me a lot about livin' this life On granddaddy's watch Grandaddy's watch He's watchin' over me up there, I know And down here, he's with me everywhere I go Sayin' you hug your mama, save your money Talk to Jesus, love your country Hunt and fish as much as you can Don't take a minute for granted These days it ain't good at tellin' time But it tells me a lot about livin' this life On granddaddy's watch Grandaddy's watch I hardly take it off this wrist of mine It only works about half the time
