Grandad Lyrics

Looking over at the wheels of my stroller
I fell hard on the street
Screaming bloody murder is my first memory
I was scooped up in the arms of an old man
Who was terrified for me
He was my mothers step father and I was his buddy

I had a rollercoaster in my grandad's backyard
It might not have been much but it meant the world to me
[Hook: ed my wagon to the back of his tractor and we went round and round and round]
Looking kind of crazy but he did it just for me

I was the first born when he joined the union and the first child of three
Eighteen year old mother in a Christian family
My mama really tried to be happy, but my father couldn't stop the drink
One morning in the front seat moving to another street

I had a rollercoaster in my grandad's backyard
It might not have been much but it meant the world to me
[Hook: ed my wagon to the back of his tractor and we went round and round and round]
Looking kind of crazy but he did it just for me
