Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
This lace collar's choking me
Cutting 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 humming "Amazing Grace"
Rain beats on this graveside tent
Preacher says, "He did repent."
Preacher says, "He did repent."
Pre-Chorus
They've got him laying 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 plough
He walked and cussed and loved that ground
His hand sowed each and every seed
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds
He said, "The simple life, it suits me fine."
Never dreamed beyond the county line
Grandma was his boyhood bride
He'll be there in her arms tonight
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight
Pre-Chorus
They've got him laying 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 favourite tune
But I know he preferred a fiddle
Playing 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
