Granddaddy's Gun

Granddaddy's Gun - Blake Shelton

It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails

And it's worth a bunch of money

But it damn sure ain't for sale

The good Lord only knows

All the stories it could tell

Granddaddy's gun

He bought it new out of

A Sears and Roebuck catalog

And it shot a many shell over

The top of an old bird dog

And it backed a burglar down

When grandma took the safety off

Granddaddy's gun

It's just a double barrel 12

The stock is cracked

And it kicks like hell

It wouldn't mean

What it means to me to no one

I can hear his voice

When I put it to my shoulder

"A gun's like a woman

Son it's all how you hold her"

He taught me a whole lot

More than how to hunt

And one of these days

I'll pass it on to my son

Granddaddy's gun

He handed it to me on the day I turned 13

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

With granddaddy's gun

It's just a double barrel 12

The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell

It wouldn't mean

What it means to me to no one

I can hear his voice

When I put it to my shoulder

"A gun's like a woman

Son it's all how you hold her"

He taught me a whole lot

More than how to hunt

And one of these days

I'll pass it on to my son

Granddaddy's gun

There's a long beard living

On the living room wall

That I got with a box call

And granddaddy's gun

There's a shot up stop sign on 49

That me and Billy Joe took out one night

With granddaddy's gun

Granddaddy's gun

It sits above the mantle

On a couple rusty nails

And it's worth a bunch of money

But it damn sure ain't for sale
