Granddaddy's Gun
Blake Shelton
Based on a True Story... (Delu
It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails
And it's worth a bunch of money
but it damn sure ain't for sale
The good Lord only knows
all the stories it could tell
Granddaddy's gun
He bought it new out of
a Sears and Roebuck catalog
And it shot a many shell over
the top of an old bird dog
And it backed a burglar down
when grandma took the safety off
Granddaddy's gun
It's just a double barrel 12
The stock is cracked
and it kicks like hell
It wouldn't mean
what it means to me to no one
I can hear his voice
when I put it to my shoulder
"A gun's like a woman,
son it's all how you hold her"
He taught me a whole lot
more than how to hunt
And one of these days
I'll pass it on to my son
Granddaddy's gun
He handed it to me on the day I turned 13
With a half-shot box of shells
and a kit to keep it clean
I keep a picture in the case of
that sweet old man and me
With granddaddy's gun
It's just a double barrel 12
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
It wouldn't mean
what it means to me to no one
I can hear his voice
when I put it to my shoulder
"A gun's like a woman,
son it's all how you hold her"
He taught me a whole lot
more than how to hunt
And one of these days
I'll pass it on to my son
Granddaddy's gun
There's a long beard living
on the living room wall
That I got with a box call
And granddaddy's gun
There's a shot up stop sign on 49
That me and Billy Joe took out one night
With granddaddy's gun
