You stood on that bank when I got baptized

 Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine

 At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn

I could hear you cheering when we won state

 And 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 bout the war thought you were Superman

 American born simple man with a southern drawl

 You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa

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 gettin' 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 bout the war thought you were Superman

 American born simple man with a southern drawl

 You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa

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

 Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the talk Grandpa
