Grandpa's old truck had rust on the floor-boards Three speeds on the column, a few dings in the door But he waved at everybody as he drove threw town Proud I bet I heard a thousand stories About all the things he done But the day he married grandma Has to be my favorite one And every time he'd tell it He'd pull that picture out Proud He never met a stranger And man he sure loved me He worked hard till the day he died To make a name for this family The only time he hung his head Is when he stopped to pray And there ain't a day goes by Where I don't thank God I got his name I know he's up there lookin' down Proud He used to say "Son, it ain't the money Cause it's the things you can't buy That'll really make you happy And that will get you through this life And don't forget to thank the good Lord for everything you've had And boy, you be proud" He never met a stranger And man he sure loved me He worked hard till the day he died To make a name for this family The only time he hung his head Is when he stopped to pray And there ain't a day goes by Where I don't thank God I got his name Yeah, I know he's up there smiling down Proud There's a couple hundred headstones In a field of green across town I guess somethings never change He still stands out in a crowd And it makes me proud Yeah, I'm so proud
