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 'cuz 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 really did me in
Getting over her slow
And I knew someday I would 'cuz Grandpa told me so
(|)(Chorus)(|)
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
They be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cuz 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 'cuz Grandpa told me so
(|)(Repeat Chorus Twice)(|)
Yeah and I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
