Grandma gave me this old book
I never read it much I probably should.
All the answers wrote in red, I never listen to a word she said.
I'm selfish lord, help me out. Grandma's sick she needs me now.
(I know she needs me)
I know it's time to let her go,
She's fading fast and heaven knows, that I ain't prayed like this in so long.
I said "Lord forgive her for her sins, she's been through hell and back again."
And I will too once she's gone.
That's a smile I can't get back, I'm losing all I ever had.
That's why I keep this bible on the dash.
I don't remember what she said to me;
Between the tears and the beers I hit my knees.
The doctor said she won't last long,
I just pray she has the strength to carry on.
I never thought it'd be this hard, but watching daddy cry; it broke my heart.
(Yeah, he broke my heart)
