Intro: 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 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 OUTRO:
