Kellie Pickler - Selma Drye lyrics

(Verse) My great grandma’s name was Selma Drye Everybody tell me I got her hazel eyes It turn Carolina blue when I cry And that’s alright with me (Verse) She kept a 38 special and a can of snuff In the pocket of her rip in case something came up She grew up ragged and she grew up rough The way she had been (Chorus – part 1) I know so much she’d be proud of me ‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree That didn’t hit the ground And sit down in the mud (Chorus – part 2) sponsored links But she’s up in heaven raising hell And if I can stand up by myself It’s ‘cause her gunpowder’s running through my blood And when I die put me in the ground beside… Selma Drye (Verse) Folks round town, they said she was neat But never saw the woman I’ve seen Never even touched a washing machine And hung everything on the line (Verse) Kept the peaches and her money in a can and jar Never owned a TV or drove a car That stuff don’t make you what you are She used to say that all the time (Chorus – part 1) I know so much she’d be proud of me ‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree That didn’t hit the ground And sit down in the mud (Chorus – part 2) But she’s up in heaven raising hell And if I can stand up by myself It’s ‘cause her gunpowder’s running through my blood And when I die put me in the ground beside… Selma Drye (Bridge) I still got her words of wisdom playing in my head And her old beat-up Bible’s on my night stand by my bed (Chorus – part 1) I know so much she’d be proud of me ‘Cause I’m the only apple on the tree That didn’t hit the ground And sit down in the mud (Chorus – part 2) But she’s up in heaven raising hell And if I can stand up by myself It’s ‘cause her gunpowder’s running through my blood And when I die put me in the ground beside… When I die just put me in the ground beside… Selma Drye Selma Drye…
