Heard this morning:
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
yeah that's what Granny always said to my Grandad
and he'd say never tell a joke
that ain't that funny more than once
and if you wanna hear God laugh,
tell Him your plans.
CHORUS:
Don't get too high on a bottle,
and get right with the Man.
fight your fights,
find your grace,
and all the things that you can change
and help somebody if you can.
Now Granny said sonny
stick to your gun if you believe in something
no matter what
cause it's better to be hated for who you are
Than loved for someone you're not.
She was 5 feet of concrete
New York born and raised on a slick city street.
She'll stare you down, stand her ground,
still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember how frail she looked
in that hospital bed
taking her last few breaths of life
and smiling as she said
Don't get too high on a bottle,
just a little sip e'vry now and then,
fight your fights,
find your grace,
and all the things you can change
and help somebody if you can,
and get right with the Man
