Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] I was just nine years old A boy so eager but small Dirt on my hands I remember I gave it my all Grandpa's laugh was like a rolling song Working in the garden all day long [Prechorus] But one day the wind stood still The sky turned gray The garden froze on that fateful day [Chorus] Grandpa’s good bye It cut the air Left his hat on the old porch chair The lord reached down And Took a good man Left me standing there in the dirt holding his hand Grandpa’s good bye Oh it hurt Think about it every time I feel the dirt, grandpa’s good bye oh it hurt And still does when I feel the dirt [Verse 2] The rake he held It fell with a clang The robin stopped his mid-morning sang I yelled his name But it didn’t wake I guess The lord needed a good soul to take [Prechorus] the cornstalks bowed As he fell to the dirt The garden wept soft where he once worked [Chorus] Grandpa’s good bye It cut the air Left his hat on the old porch chair The lord reached down And Took a good man Left me standing there in the dirt holding his hand Grandpa’s good bye Oh it hurt Think about it every time I feel the dirt, grandpa’s good bye oh it hurt And still does when I feel the dirt [solo] [Chorus] Grandpa’s good bye It cut the air Left his hat on the old porch chair The lord reached down And Took a good man Left me standing there in the dirt holding his hand Grandpa’s good bye Oh it hurt Think about it every time I feel the dirt, grandpa’s good bye oh it hurt And still does when I feel the dirt
