Grandpa Told Me So Lyrics

(Mark Alan Springer/James Dean Hicks)
If you don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to swim
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know
And as a kid I believed 'cause Grandpa told me so
He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car
I thought I was really something 'til Becky Thompson broke my heart
That first taste of love nearly did me in
Getting over her was slow
But I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life was made for you to live.
The best love is the love that you give.
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go.
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so
I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave
That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again
Somewhere down the road.
And I believe 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life was made for you to live.
The best love is the love that you give.
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life was made for you to live.
The best love is the love that you give.
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go.
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so
Yeah and I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe...
