Hey, Grandpa

Hey, grandpa, I wish you were here today
I'm on my way to play another show
I bet you'd love it, folks are sittin' on some hay
So I'll pull out my fiddle an' I'll rosin up my bow
What I'd give to see you sittin' in the front row

Hey, grandpa, there's this boy I like a lot
He loves fishin', workin' hard and Barney Fife
I wish you could be here to see me walkin' down the aisle
Can you believe I'm gonna be somebody's wife?
It don't matter, but in case you'd like to know
I saved a spot for you by grandma in the front row

Now I know you're somewhere better
And this is how it's gotta be
And you wouldn't want us cryin' anyway
But I'm always gonna carry a part of you in me
Oh, I sure am missing you today

Hey, grandpa, what's it like where you are now?
Is it everything we dreamed it oughta be?
I wish I could see you, without the pain that took you down
Free to run, and free to laugh, and free to breathe
I'll admit some days I just can't wait to go
I can't help but there's a longing in my soul
Oh, deep inside somehow I think I know
When it's my turn, you'll be there waitin' in the front row

Now I know you're somewhere better
And this is how it's gotta be
The ones we love, we never really lose
Cause I'm always gonna carry a part of you in me
But today I've gotta say, I'm missing you

Hey, grandpa, I wish you were here today
I'm on my way to play another show
