Granddaddy's Chair
Legacy of Love: Sitting in Granddaddy's Chair
Lyrics
I remember you in the rocking chair
I have memories of you sitting in a rocking chair
I was in my boots and my underwear
I, as a child, was in my boots and underwear
Playing rodeo all night long
We played rodeo together throughout the night
You used to count till it hit 8 seconds
You used to count seconds until it reached 8 in our game
When you hit 6 is the time you left us
But you left us when it hit 6 seconds
But you're in my heart so I'll never be alone
Even though you're gone, you reside in my heart
I know you're watching over me
I believe you're watching over me
I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be
I aspire to become the man you once were
Quick to love and slow to anger
Quick to love and slow to anger, just like you
No, you never met a stranger
You were never unfamiliar with strangers
I hope one day when you're looking down on me
I hope to make you smile and proud when you look down on me
I make you smile
I wish to bring joy to your memory
I make you proud
I want to accomplish things that make you proud
I may not be there now
Although I'm not there yet
But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there in my granddaddy's chair
I hope to be man enough to sit in your granddaddy's chair
You were 8 track tapes and Conway Twitty
You were associated with 8 track tapes and Conway Twitty
Road trip with Nana to Panama City
Memories include road trips with Nana to Panama City
Everybody knew she was your girl
Nana was known as your girl by everyone
You taught me love
You taught me the essence of love
You taught me living
You instilled in me the art of living
Cars and jokes and good catfishing
You shared knowledge about cars, jokes, and good catfishing
I gave you hell and you gave me the world
Despite me being challenging, you provided me the world
I'm sure missing you right now
I currently feel a strong sense of missing you
I hope one day I'll be the man you used to be
I aspire to emulate the qualities you embodied
Quick to love and slow to anger
Quick to love, slow to anger, and welcoming to all
No, you never met a stranger
You were never distant from strangers
I hope one day when you're looking down on me
I hope to evoke smiles and pride when you observe me
I make you smile
I wish to bring joy to your memory
I make you proud
I aim to achieve things that make you proud
I may not be there now
Although I'm not there yet
But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there in my granddaddy's chair
I hope to be man enough to sit in your granddaddy's chair
My granddaddy's chair
Your granddaddy's chair holds significance
Yeah, I hope one day when you're looking down on me
I aspire to evoke smiles and pride when you observe me
I make you smile
I wish to bring joy to your memory
I make you proud
I aim to achieve things that make you proud
I may not be there now
Although I'm not there yet
But I hope one day I'll be man enough to be sitting there in my granddaddy's chair
I hope to be man enough to sit in your granddaddy's chair
Oh yeah
Expressing affirmation and determination
In my granddaddy's chair
Reiteration of the desire to be in the granddaddy's chair
Rest in peace, I love you granddaddy
A final tribute expressing love and peace to the granddaddy
