Grandpa's hands were strong, from working all day long Stood ten feet tall, heart had built a wall Hellbent and hardboiled - never showed his hand Always played it close to the vest Worked hard for family - no matter the pay That mean and grizzled Jack Pine Savage showed love his own kinda way Like to spend his time, among his tools and all the grime Learned that cussin' was an art, when those plugs were gapped And she still won't start Been gone for a while, stories still make me smile Lived a good life, fought the good fight Hellbent and hardboiled - never showed his hand Always played it close to the vest Worked hard for family - no matter the pay That mean and grizzled Jack Pine Savage showed love his own kinda way His own kinda way His own kinda way
