C G
C G
 
[Verso 1]
 
G
Hi, Logan
 
I guess you're writing another song
 
Oh, that one you wrote yesterday was just so crazy
 
Love you, hon
 
[Verso 2]
G
There's a picture in the kitchen, black and white
C
Worn and faded a little girl
G
With an oak tree up above her
 
G
White dress clinging to her with her fingers 'round a kitten
C
Barefoot in the grass
G
That's my mother's mother
 
[Verso 3]
G
There's a cast iron skillet, frying okra in the Crisco
C G
And a big ol' pan of cornbread in the oven
 
G
From peach cobbler to sweet iced tea
 
I don't follow a recipe
C
I go by heart
G
And that's my mothr's mother
 
[Refrão]
C D
I hope my driveway's just as long
C
Hope my porch light's always on
G
And the phone call's never done
 
'Til I say, "I love you, hon"
 
C
And I learned everything I know
 
'Bout how to make a garden grow
G
And how to set the plates
A C
And how to say the grace for Sunday supper
 
G G
From my mother's mother
 
[Verso 4]
G
There's nothing that her porch swing couldn't fix
C
Don't matter how broken it gets
G
She'll put the pieces back together
 
G
She gets older, days keep passing
 
I wish they'd pour more like molasses
C G
But time ain't a cup of sugar you can measure
 
[Refrão]
C D
I hope my driveway's just as long
C
Hope my porch light's always on
G
And the phone call's never done
 
Until I say, "I love you, hon"
 
C
And I learned everything I know
 
'Bout how to make a garden grow
G
And how to set the plates
A C
And how to say the grace for Sunday supper
 
G
From my mother's mother
 
Outro
C G
And I hope that I have strawberries and tomatoes on the vine
 
Am Bm C
And I hope that I can be just like
Em D C
Oh, everybody says that I'm just like
 
G G G
My mother's mother
G
Mm, my mother's mother
