John Baumann - Grandfather's Grandson lyrics

Artist: John Baumann

album: Country Shade


The South Texas dream was a working mans scheme
Grandaddy made good on the future he'd seen
800 acres where the cotton was flush
And the oil was his before the rush
And I know, I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
And this land, ain't getting sold off to no one
While the turbines encroach, and the city boys poach
And the lights of town are approaching
You know I'll be here, I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
The company men they are back once again
Their trying to buy up whatever they can
But if they darken my door, another time more
This shotgun in my lap, will be hard to ignore
Cause I'm here, I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
And this land, ain't getting sold off to no one
What the business men see, can't be taken from me
And one day it's my sons for the keeping
Til then I'll be here
I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
Nothing for you to drill
No land fill to fill
No interstate TXDOT proposal
No high rising crane
No dairy queen chain
This will never be your garbage disposal
As long as I'm here
As long as I'm here
I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
Nothing for you to drill
No land fill to fill
No interstate TXDOT proposal
No high rising crane
No dairy queen chain
I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
I'm my Grandfather's Grandson
