It Sits Above The Mantle On A Couple Rusty Nails
And It′s Worth A Bunch Of Money, But It Damn Sure Ain't For Sale
The Good Lord Only Knows All The Stories It Could TellGranddaddy′s Gun

He Bought It New Out Of A Sears And Roebuck Catalog
And It Shot A Many Shell Over The Top Of An Old Bird Dog
And It Backed A Burglar Down When Grandma Took The Safety Off
Granddaddy's Gun

It's Just A Double Barrel 12
The Stock Is Cracked And It Kicks Like Hell
It Wouldn′t Mean What It Means To Me To No One
I Can Hear His Voice When I Put It To My Shoulder
"A Gun′s Like A Woman, Son It's All How You Hold Her"
He Taught Me A Whole Lot More Than How To Hunt
And One Of These Days I′ll Pass It On To My Son
Granddaddy's 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 Old Man And Me
With Granddaddy′s Gun

It's Just A Double Barrel 12
The Stock Is Cracked And It Kicks Like Hell
It Wouldn′t Mean What It Means To Me To No One
I Can Hear His Voice When I Put It To My Shoulder
"A Gun's Like A Woman, Son It's All How You Hold Her"
He Taught Me A Whole Lot More Than How To Hunt
And One Of These Days I′ll Pass It On To My Son
Granddaddy′s Gun

There's A Long Beard Living On The Living Room Wall
That I Got With A Box Call
And Granddaddy′s Gun
There's A Shot Up Stop Sign On 49
That Me And Billy Joe Took Out One Night
With Granddaddy′s Gun
Granddaddy's Gun
It Sits Above The Mantle On A Couple Rusty Nails
And It′s Worth A Bunch Of Money, But It Damn Sure Ain't For Sale
