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
