If you donât get in the water, youâre never gonna learn to swim.
He said that a snake is just as scared of you as you are of it.
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite,
Seems there was nothing that he didnât know,
and as a kid I believed, âcause Grandpa told me so.
Verse 2:
He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car.
I thought I was really something till Becky Thompson broke my heart.
That first taste of love nearly did me in,
Getting over her was slow,
And I knew someday I would, âcause Grandpa told me so.
Chorus:
He said, life is made for you to live,
The best love is the love that you give,
Thereâll be times when you want to hold on, but you gotta let go.
And I live by those words, âcause Grandpa told me so.
Solo:
(Slow it down and strum low volume.)
Verse 3:
I promised him I wouldnât cry when it was his time to leave.
Thatâs the only promise I made him I couldnât keep.
He smiled from his bed and said weâll meet again
Somewhere down the road.
And I believe, âcause Grandpa told me so.
Repeat Chorus 2 xâs:
Bridge:
Yeah, and I still believe,
Grandpa told me so.
Grandpa told me so.
I still believe.
Tag:
Grandpa told me so.
I still believe.
