grandfather's theme - jason boland & the stragglers lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
we’ve come a long, long way since the days of my grandfather’s time
and i can’t say it’s all been forward
i don’t know what i’d say to any grandson of mine
if he was tryin’ to make his own way [star-ward ?]

[verse 1]
and i hate to see him go
but i’d be glad to know
part of me would live to see tomorrow
[?] our days were
bought and paid for
came to find that time was [only borrowed ?]

[verse 2]
a man and his horse used to be worth two bucks a day
now that won’t even pay for the hay, and that’s the horse’s meal
i played in a band
i lived in an old chevrolet van
back in the days of the automobile

[verse 3]
we lived on the land
and tried to make a stand
just hoped that man would learn to get by
and we poisoned the earth
and took her for all she was worth
but it was here i’s born and here i’ll die

[verse 4]
and you can’t get away
from that final judgement day
no matter how far we fly

[chorus 2]
we’ve flown a long, long way since the days of my grandfather’s time
and i can’t say it’s all been forward
i don’t know what i’d say to any grandson of mine
if he was tryin’ to make his own way [star-ward ?]
