Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
This lace collar's chokin' me, cuttin' off my air supply
When I hang my head to cry
When I hang my head to cry
I see tears on Daddy's face
Someone's hummin' "Amazing Grace"
Rain beats on this graveside tent
Preacher says, "He did repent."
Preacher says, "He did repent."
They've got him layin' there in pinstripes How'd they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognize him without his overalls and mule
They all say he looks so natural
But all I see is a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
A tractor never pulled his plow
He walked and cussed and love that ground
His hand sowed each and every seed
And he prayed for rain and fought the weeds
He prayed for rain and fought the weeds
He said, "The simple life, it suits me fine."
Never dreamed the county line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
He'll be there in her arms tonight
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight
They've got him layin' there in pinstripes How'd they get him in that suit?
I guess the Lord will recognize him without his overalls and mule
They all say he looks so natural
But all I see is a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
They played a pretty organ number
Swore it was his favorite tune
But I know he'd preferred a fiddle
Playin' "Carol County Blues"
They all say he looks so natural
But all I see is a cold dark hole
I won't commit this day to memory
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
