paroles de chanson That's What Grandpa's Do - Gord Bamford

Got an 8 x 10 of me and him,
When I was about nine
The game was over; I was on his shoulders
By the 50 yard line
He was a tall and lean
Proud marine
With a faded green tattoo
Always had my back
When I ticked-off dad
'Cause that's what grandpas do

From 55 to 65
I watched his hair turn grey
And the only time
I saw him cry
Was the Sunday I got saved
From turnin' a wrench
To fixin' fence,
And pickin' me up at school
To bein' my best friend
That's what grandpas do

He taught me how to drive,
And how to survive
In the woods if I got lost
And the older I get
The more I see I'm a chip
Off a chip off his old block
He taught me how to tie a tie,
Put an edge on a knife,
And how to sight in my 22
How to do unto others,
'Cause that's what grandpas do

He taught me not to be lazy,
Open doors for ladies,
And look a man in the eye
Think before you speak,
Pray before you eat,
And how to choke down your pride
He gave me my last name,
This cross on this chain,
And my first Red Man chew
So don't tell your grandma boy
'Cause that's what grandpas do, yeah!

From an old Chevelle, out there raisin' hell
To quotin' from King James
From Superman
To barely can remember his own name
They go from an old jon boat with a
Fishin' pole
To a hospital room
Better love 'em while you can, man,
'Cause that's what grandpas do
You'd better love 'em while you can,
'Cause that's what grandpas do
