Karaoké Help Somebody Van Zant

Well granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar blue collar of a man

He came from the school where you didn't need nothin'

If you couldn't make it with your own two hands

He was back woods backwards used words

Like no sir yes ma'am by God be darned hell yeah I'm American

In all the years he walked this earth

I swear all he did was work

He said the devil dreams on an idle horse so you listen to me squirt

Don't get too high on a bottle and get right with a man

Fight your fights find a grace in all the things

That you can't change and help somebody if you can

Now Granny said Sonny stick to your guns

If you believe in somethin' no matter what

'Cos it's better to be hated for who you are

Than be loved for who you're not

She was five feet of concrete

New York born and raised on the slick city streets

She'd cold stare you down stand her ground

Still kickin' and screamin' at ninety three

I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed

Takin' her last few breaths of life and smilin' as she said

Don't get too high on a bottle just a little sip every now and then

Fight your fights find a grace in all the things

That you can't change and help somebody if you can

And get right with a man whoop, whoop, come on now

I never let a cowboy make the coffee

Yeah that's what Granny always said to my granddad

And he'd say never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once

And if you wanna hear God laugh tell him your plans

Don't get too high on a bottle and get right with a man son

Fight your fights find a grace in all the things

That you can't change and help somebody if you can

And get right with a man wooh, yeah

Don't get too high

Help somebody if you can and get right with a man
