Rhett Akins - Granddaddy's Gun lyrics

[Verse 1] It sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell My granddaddy's gun [Verse 2] Well he bought it new out of the Sears-Roebuck catalog And it shot a many shells over the back of an old bird dog It backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off Granddaddy's gun [Chorus] It's just an old double barrel twelve The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt [Post-Chorus] And one of these days I'll pa** it on to my grandson My granddaddy's gun [Verse 2] He handed it to me on the day I turned thirteen 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 Granddaddy's gun [Chorus] It's just an old double barrel twelve The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt [Post-Chorus] One of these days I'll pa** it on to my grandson My granddaddy's gun [Bridge] There's a long beard hangin' on my livin' room wall That I got with a box call And, grandaddy's gun And there's a shot up sign out there on 49 That me and Billy Joe shot up one night With, granddaddy's gun [Outro] Well it sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale
