It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails
and its worth a bunch of money but it damn sure aint for sale
the good lord only knows the all the storys it could tell grandaddys gun
he bought it new out of the sears and roebuck catalog
and it shot a many shell over the top of an ol bird dog
and it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off grandaddys gun
its just a double barrel 12 the stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
it wouldnt mean what it means to me to no one
i can hear his voice when i put it to my shoulder "a guns like a woman
son its all how ya hold her" it taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
and one of these days ill pass it on to my son grandaddys gun
He handed it to me on the day i turned 13
with a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
i keep a picture in the case of that sweet ol man and me and grandaddys gun
its just a double barrel 12 the stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
it wouldnt mean what it means to me to no one
i can hear his voice when i put it to my shoulder "a guns like a woman
son its all how ya hold her" it taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
and one of these days ill pass it on to my son grandaddys gun
