Stuff My Grandpa Said

Verse 1:
He said, "When you fall in love fall hard,
Even if it breaks your heart
'Cause you know with love there ain't no other way
Put a little back for rainy days 
But don't forget that it's o.k.
Every now and then, to spend little more than you make"

Chorus:
People come people go
Hold on to the one's you know 
Need a little help riding out the rains   
Ain't the clothes that make the man 
Ain't a man if you don't stand 
For something and give more than you take"
He said, "Thank God for every breath"

Well, I thank God for stuff my Grandpa said

Verse 2:
"Don't drop your dreams in wishing wells 
Forgive, forget, say 'what the hell'
With friends you know you gotta let it go
Let those tears fall, laugh 'til it hurts
Remember things like ladies first
And you're daddy's always prouder than you know 

Chorus:
People come people go 
Hold on to the one's you know 
Need a little help riding out the rains 
Punch the clock, pay your bills 
Leave your kids big shoes to fill  
And catch a million sunsets", yeah he'd say,  
"Thank God, for every breath"

But, I thank God for stuff my Grandpa said

Solo: 

Bridge:
He never made it past the 7th grade
Wouldn't change a line on his face
And, I swear sometimes I still hear
Him whisperin' in my ear 

Outro:
Saying, "Thank God for every breath"
He said, "Thank God for every breath
Thank God for every breath"

But I thank God for stuff my Grandpa said
