| [00:18.95] |
It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails |
| [00:25.07] |
And it's worth a bunch of money |
| [00:27.62] |
|
| [00:28.43] |
but it damn sure ain't for sale |
| [00:30.86] |
|
| [00:31.74] |
The good Lord only knows |
| [00:34.08] |
all the stories it could tell |
| [00:37.26] |
Granddaddy's gun |
| [00:38.89] |
|
| [00:41.00] |
He bought it new out of |
| [00:43.44] |
a Sears and Roebuck catalog |
| [00:46.24] |
|
| [00:47.17] |
And it shot a many shell over |
| [00:50.43] |
the top of an old bird dog |
| [00:53.48] |
And it backed a burglar down |
| [00:56.09] |
when grandma took the safety off |
| [00:59.28] |
Granddaddy's gun |
| [01:00.84] |
|
| [01:03.34] |
It's just a double barrel 12 |
| [01:06.58] |
The stock is cracked |
| [01:07.69] |
and it kicks like hell |
| [01:09.75] |
It wouldn't mean |
| [01:10.75] |
what it means to me to no one |
| [01:14.43] |
|
| [01:15.74] |
I can hear his voice |
| [01:17.19] |
when I put it to my shoulder |
| [01:19.34] |
"A gun's like a woman, |
| [01:20.40] |
son it's all how you hold her" |
| [01:22.41] |
He taught me a whole lot |
| [01:23.84] |
more than how to hunt |
| [01:26.90] |
|
| [01:28.59] |
And one of these days |
| [01:29.96] |
I'll pass it on to my son |
| [01:33.20] |
|
| [01:33.88] |
Granddaddy's gun |
| [01:36.26] |
|
| [01:41.00] |
He handed it to me on the day I turned 13 |
| [01:46.57] |
|
| [01:47.38] |
With a half-shot box of shells |
| [01:50.13] |
and a kit to keep it clean |
| [01:52.82] |
|
| [01:53.62] |
I keep a picture in the case of |
| [01:56.81] |
that sweet old man and me |
| [01:58.93] |
With granddaddy's gun |
| [02:01.43] |
|
| [02:03.30] |
It's just a double barrel 12 |
| [02:06.55] |
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell |
| [02:09.58] |
It wouldn't mean |
| [02:10.46] |
what it means to me to no one |
| [02:14.51] |
|
| [02:15.76] |
I can hear his voice |
| [02:17.19] |
when I put it to my shoulder |
| [02:19.38] |
"A gun's like a woman, |
| [02:20.55] |
son it's all how you hold her" |
| [02:22.42] |
He taught me a whole lot |
| [02:23.91] |
more than how to hunt |
| [02:27.21] |
|
| [02:28.64] |
And one of these days |
| [02:29.90] |
I'll pass it on to my son |
| [02:33.86] |
Granddaddy's gun |
| [02:36.61] |
|
| [02:41.03] |
There's a long beard living |
| [02:42.55] |
on the living room wall |
| [02:44.27] |
That I got with a box call |
| [02:47.14] |
|
| [02:47.95] |
And granddaddy's gun |
| [02:50.16] |
|
| [02:53.64] |
There's a shot up stop sign on 49 |
| [02:56.86] |
That me and Billy Joe took out one night |
| [03:00.34] |
With granddaddy's gun |
| [03:02.96] |
|
| [03:05.52] |
Granddaddy's gun |
| [03:08.82] |
|
| [03:12.69] |
It sits above the mantle |
| [03:14.99] |
|
| [03:15.74] |
on a couple rusty nails |
| [03:18.11] |
|
| [03:18.68] |
And it's worth a bunch of money |
| [03:21.30] |
|
| [03:22.05] |
but it damn sure ain't for sale |
