[Verse 1]
You stood on that bank when I got baptized
Gave me a 30-30 when I turned 9
At 16 you caught me drinking out in the barn
I could hear you cheering when we won state, You held my hand at Grandma's grave
And I'll always be thankful, you never sold the farm
[Chorus]
Grandpa, you stood so tall
Chewed that Red Man wore overalls
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked about the war thought you were superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa
[Verse 2]
You still swear Roosevelt was the best
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love
Well this life I've chose is getting busy now
But I know where to go when I need to slow down and when I
Walk up on your front porch
It's just like I'm still young
[Chorus]
Grandpa, you stood so tall
Chewed that Red Man wore overalls
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Five foot six to the top of your hat
But when you talked about the war I thought you were superman
American born simple man with a southern drawl
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa
[Outro]
Yeah, American born a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl
Now keep walking the walk and talking the talk, Grandpa
