Patterson Hood - Old Timer's Disease lyrics

In 42, my granddad was drafted by the Army They sent him off to fight over in Germany Left my grandma at home with a brand new baby boy And my mom was born the day they bombed Hiroshima And not long after that, my granddad got to meet her Got a job and commuted from Alabama to Kentucky But still he would have told you he was lucky Just to watch his pretty bride push them babies down the street And the way that the cars all backed up behind her But Granddad's lost his mind cause he'd rather not remember anymore And he refuses to stop driving, so Grandma's locked his keys next door And he spends his days just looking around Looking around But he's forgotten what he's looking for He's forgotten what he's looking for
