See, I gained a little on Father Time

The summer my Granddaddy died

Felt like I put on a few years

Watching Daddy wipe her tears
Em F#m G
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

That's where I grew up
G A D
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank

Praying God just get me out

But the man in me said pull her close
Em F#m G A
It was time to find out which one I was
Em F#m G A
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
