[Verse 1]

You stood on that bank when I got baptized

Gave me a 30-30 when I turned 9

At 16 you caught me drinking out in the barn

I could hear you cheering when we won state, 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 about the war thought you were superman

American born simple man with a southern drawl

You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa

[Verse 2]

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 getting 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 about the war I thought you were superman

American born simple man with a southern drawl

You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa

[Outro]

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

Now keep walking the walk and talking the talk, Grandpa
