Lyrics:

                                                  
GRANDPA 101

Writer: Paul Weylan Deaver

Verse 1:
Summer time come, I was seven years young.
I was up at the break of day
In my new overalls, gonna help Grandpa
In the John Deere bailing hay.
As I sat on his knee, he explained to me
About a day’s work for a day’s pay.
He said, “You ride for the brand and you’ll be a real man.”
He didn’t know any other way.

Chorus:
Grandpa was big on life’s little lessons.
And he could make learning fun.
Anywhere with him and school was in session.
I got a lot in Grandpa 101.

Verse 2:
Standing on the bank of a muddy stock tank
With a cane pole in my hand.
Something wasn’t right, I couldn’t get a bite.
I said, “I’ve had all I can stand.”
He said that, “Life don’t allow you to throw in the towel.”
“Let patience be your friend.”
So I tried another lure and it seemed to be the cure
Cause I reeled a big catfish in.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
He taught my Daddy and my Daddy taught me
Have faith in prayer and your family.
Now I’m all grown with a college degree
But it’ll never take the place of what he gave me.

(Repeat Chorus)
