| [00:02.00] | Vienna Teng - Grandmother Song |
| [00:04.00] | |
| [00:06.00] | |
| [00:08.00] | |
| [00:09.47] | oh girl you think you got time |
| [00:11.95] | you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
| [00:14.49] | but one step, two step, you fall behind |
| [00:16.82] | so you better have a good plan |
| [00:18.74] | |
| [00:19.49] | oh girl you think you got time |
| [00:21.44] | you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line |
| [00:23.58] | but I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind |
| [00:26.09] | you're still gonna need a man |
| [00:27.85] | |
| [00:28.67] | take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [00:37.71] | no one's gonna take care of you |
| [00:39.71] | in that world you've got yourself into |
| [00:41.80] | all the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school |
| [00:46.38] | |
| [00:47.29] | oh girl your story's all wrong |
| [00:49.48] | your dream'll be a nightmare before too long |
| [00:51.69] | turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs |
| [00:53.96] | come on who do you think you are |
| [00:55.96] | |
| [00:56.72] | oh girl it's too heavy a load |
| [00:58.73] | your mama and your baba they are worried souls |
| [01:01.01] | how you gonna raise a family when you're on the road |
| [01:03.22] | with some tattooed boy with a guitar |
| [01:05.23] | |
| [01:06.10] | take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [01:14.77] | this music career isn't real life |
| [01:17.05] | it won't see you through to when you're sixty-five |
| [01:19.50] | when the tide turns you won't survive |
| [01:22.42] | you'll sit on the banks and cry |
| [01:32.99] | |
| [01:50.58] | oh girl you've never know war |
| [01:54.03] | when they come in the night and knock on the door |
| [01:56.12] | you can go from the high life to dirty poor |
| [01:58.52] | and lose everything you knew |
| [02:00.74] | |
| [02:01.48] | but the one thing they can't take away from you |
| [02:03.62] | is your mind and the education you've been through |
| [02:05.80] | o you find a man who understands that too |
| [02:07.96] | make sure that he stays true |
| [02:11.52] | gives respect where its due |
| [02:13.96] | make sure he knows what he's got in you |
| [02:18.11] | |
| [02:18.91] | because a woman isn't just for cooking meals |
| [02:21.29] | scrubbing floors, making babies |
| [02:23.69] | a woman's got ambitions same as he does |
| [02:26.17] | maybe more |
| [02:27.77] | |
| [02:28.40] | when the sirens wailed and the bombs fell |
| [02:30.80] | we ran from the schoolyard into hell |
| [02:32.89] | and what we could've been time will never tell |
| [02:34.92] | 'cause we never had your chances |
| [02:37.39] | the advantages that you've been handed |
| [02:44.28] | |
| [03:10.56] | take it from your grandmother I've been 'round |
| [03:20.63] |
