Hard workin´, hard hands
Sweatin´ like the devil with my farmer´s tan
My grandfather said "Chop that wood
Don´t cuss at your mama, boy you got to be good"
Life goes by fast take it slow

One day you´re young and the next day you´re old
He used to tell me all this at our fishin´ hole
I used to carry all his tackle and his fishin´ pole

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

My daddy wasn´t there but the old man was
He taught me how to fish, he taught me to hunt
And if I got bored he said whittle some wood

Or go take that ol´ dog go get lost in the woods
I stay up all night and just sit on the porch
He used to tell me stories about when he was a boy
He grew up down the hollar at the end of Lick Fork
In a little old cabin and they were so poor
He started workin´ at the age of 10
He left school and never went back again
I´ll tell ya, old boy could swing a hammer and an axe
And when times get tough, you´d get the shirt off his back

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

I´m older, and he´s gone now
But I never forgot what we talked about
My grandfather told me stand up proud
Don´t you ever start a fight, but don´t ever back down
No, no, and I miss him so
It tears up my heart, it rips my soul
Now looking down the ridge where we used to go
I can still hear his voice and I know he knows

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee

He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"

I can tell you stories my granddaddy told me
When I was just a boy I´d sit on his knee
He said "Son let me tell you about
The south and how it goes around here"
