You stood on that bank when I got baptized 

     
Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine 

                                           
At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn 


I could hear you cheering when we won state 

     
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave 

                                          
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm 


Chorus: 

        
Grandpa you stood so tall 

                         
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls 

                                          
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night 

                
Five foot six to the top of your hat 

                                                
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman 

                                         
American born simple man with a southern drawl 

                                        
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa 


  


You still swear Roosevelt was the best 

       
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest 

                                           
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love 


Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now

      
But i know where to go when i need to slow down 

         
And when I walk up on your front porch 

                        
It's just like I'm still young 




Chorus: 
                   
Grandpa you stood so tall 

                        
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls 

                                                   
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night 

                
Five foot six to the top of your hat 

                                                
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman 

                                         
American born simple man with a southern drawl 

                                        
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa 

                                                   
Yeah American born a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl 

                                                      
Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the talk Grandpa
