The Grandpa That I Know 
Patty Loveless

Brand new shoes they hurt my feet 
this lace collars chokin me 
cuttin offmy air supply 
when I hang my head to cry 
when I hang my head to cry 

I see tears on daddys face 
someone humming
amazin grace 
rain beats on this grave side tent

Preacher said he did repent 
preacher said he did repent 
they've got him playin there in pinstreipes how they get him in that suit 
I guess the lord will reconise him without overalls and mule

They all say he looks so natural 
all I see is a cold dark hole 
I wont commit this day to memory 
that aint the grandpa that I know 

That aint the grandpa that I know 
(Sad fiddle)
tractor never pulled his plow 
He walked and cussed
and love that ground 
his hand sowed each and every seed 
hed pray for rain and fight the weeds he pray for rain and fight the weeds 
he said the simple life just suits me fine never dreamed the county line 
grandma was his boyhood bride 
he'll be there in her arms tonight
Hell sleep there in her tonight .. 
they've got him playin there in pinstreipes how they get him in that suit 
I guess the lord will reconise him without overalls and mule
They all say he looks so natural 
all I see is a cold dark hole 
I wont commit this day to memory 
that aint the grandpa that I know 

That sint the grandpa that I know 
(Sad fiddle)
they played a preety organ number swore it was it favorite tune 
But I know he preferd a fiddle playing carol 
county blues 
they all say he look so natural
all I see is a cold dark hole 
I wont commit this day to memory 
that aint the grandpa that I know 
That aint the grandpa that I know
