You were the first person
To give me a chance
At hammering a nail
Or fixing a fence
And I can just see us now
When we were building the barn
I couldnt carry as much in two hands
As you could in one arm
Looking at us today
Well not much has changed
I guess some things
Are just meant to stay the same

(Chorus)
I wanna be a grandpa like mine
Tease my grandkids all the time
Be stern when they cross the line
When it comes my time
And I get to the other side
I want my grandkids to say
I wanna be grandpa like mine

And when it was just the two of us
You taught me how to chew
Taught me how to cuss
You were the toughest man I ever met
You'd hit your thumb with a hammer
And never even flinch

I've accepted the fact
You're not gonna be here forever
But as for right now
It could'nt be any better

(Repeat chorus 2x)
