Kenny Chesney - Grandpa Told Me So Lyrics






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 'cause 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 nearly did me in
Getting over her slow
And I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

I promissed 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 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so

Yeah and I still believe
Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe
Grandpa told me so
I still believe

    My PopPop was the first man I ever trusted. He always kept his promises. Including the one he made to a kindergarten little girl that had not idea why a sweet 16 was so important. But my dad wasn’t going to be there. I cried to him and my PopPop promised he’d be there. He sang ate a little ice cream cake and and told me he loved me. That was the last day he was coherent. The day after he passed away. But he kept his promise.

    I dedicate this song to people who have a grandpa with them. Hold on tight and spend as much time with him as you can, because someday you won't have him. I lost my grandpa almost 5 years ago and still to this day I still have that place in my heart for him. Also now with out him my heart is acking. I love you more than words will ever ever ex press.

  53. Y.... J....

    Brilliant

  54. D.... I....

    My grandpa passed away last year and this song reminds me a lot of him. He used to tell us grand kids cute little stories he'd make up. One time, when we were camping out in the backyard, he told us he walked on the moon. He said, "If you look real hard, you'll see my foot prints", (talking about those dark patches). Well, that convinced my child mind. LOL! I believed it because Grandpa told me so. ;) Trying not to cry. I miss him so much.

  55. L.... c....

  68. B.... P....

    "You can do anything you want you're my little architect"~the wisest man I've ever known, my grandpa.

  81. L.... D....

    For all the people out there, please pray for my Grandpa. He's been diagnosed with cancer agian and the doctors say he has less than 6 months..it's weird how when I was younger, I always imagined my grandfather watching me grow up and be successful. I always though he'd be here to see my husband, my children. But not I'm not sure. I'm 14, and I just started Highschool. I'm not ready to lose him. Not yet. So please, please pray for him.

    L.... D....

    aw i’m so sorry i hope everything works out for him - my papa died of cancer around 3 years ago and it doesn’t get easier you just learn to live with it. your grandpa will be in my prayers <3

    L.... D....

    @Hannah De Freitas Thank you. He ended up surviving the night but he left us last night. I'm not really sure how to feel yet. But I'm happy we got more time than we originally thought. I got to see him and talk to him before he passed.
