Sundays With Grandma Lyrics - Artist : Crypt
I had just turned sixteen
When I learned how to drive My whole life in front of me I had nothing but time With the open road and a tank of gas I had one place to go Down the willow drive To see the purest soul Right about now it's been three years Since Grandma's been alone She needs me now more than she ever did Since Grandpa's down the road So I pull on in to her driveway And she's waiting at the door With a smile across her face That I'd never seen before And she said— Come on in and sit on down I'm frying this chicken until it's nice and brown And wait 'till I tell you about the things I found out about my neighbor too She is a baptist small town gossip queen And she'd tell it all to me Sunday lunch with Grandma Making memories I was eighteen when I moved off to school And Grandma was sad We had made a routine full of love and food Every weekend that had passed On the Sundays that I couldn't come home She'd call me everytime With a brand new story about the folks at church And how they'd always sing too high And she'd say "Honey, I hate to bother you, but this damn TV remote Can you tell me how to fix it, please, and then I'll let you go" So I laugh and tell her what she needs It was our running joke And I'd say "Grandma, when I come home I will see if it is broke" And she'd say— Come on in and sit on down I'm frying this chicken until it's nice and brown And wait 'till I tell you about the things I found out about my neighbor too She is a baptist small town gossip queen And she'd tell it all to me Sunday lunch with Grandma Making memories I graduated school when I was twenty-two And she was proud as could be I had a girl I would marry 'Till our love grew wary And one day she'd up and leave And I cried a river of tears And my Grandma cried too 'Cause she knew how much it hurt me And that hurt her too She said "I won't always be around, but don't ever let another woman bring you down Baby, please never forget your worth No woman on Earth could know Just how good you are with a heart of gold You're a man of some girl's dreams But until the day she finds you You come and grab a bite to eat" So won't you— Come on in and sit on down I'm frying this chicken until it's nice and brown And wait 'till I tell you about the things I found out about Heaven There's so much here to show you I know you can't wait anymore I miss Sunday lunches with Grandma But now she's cooking for the Lord Hey, Cord, how you doing, baby? I just wanted to tell you I love you And thank you for the supper last night I love you, talk to you later Don't work too hard Bye, baby |
