Grandpa's Song
by Mark Maysey


(verse)
when our home started smelling
like grandma's house once did
with pumpkin pies and apple wine
and candy on a stick
well I knew we'd reached a moment
every aging parents bliss
when our house started smelling
like grandmas house once did

(verse)
well I find myself a sharing
good wisdom and wise tales
just like the one's my grandpa shared
out near the whiskey barrel's
it was in one ear and out the other
our words would often go
as we held hands and kicked some cans
and found our way back home

(instrumental bridge)

(verse)
when I hear them call me grandpa
it brings me so much joy
and it takes me back to lovely years
when I was just a boy
it was early to bed and early to rise
everything was cooked and fried
it may not have made us healthy or rich
but it damn sure made us wise

(verse)
when our home started smelling
like grandma's house once did
with pumpkin pies and apple wine
and candy on a stick
well I knew we'd reached a moment
every aging parents bliss
when our house started smelling
like grandma's house once did
