Verse 2
Grandaddy was a man I loved
he bought me my first ball and glove
he even taught me how to drive his truck
circlin' that old town square
he spoke of life with a slow southern draw
I never heard him 'cause I knew it all
but I sure listened when I got the call
that he was no longer there
Repeat Chorus
