Well I can 'member my grandpa when I was five years old. 
F5                                   G5 
He'd pull me upon his knee and I remember every story that he ever told. 
C5                    A5               F5                        G5 
Him and my grandma, they'd always be two southern lovers just kissin' 
 
On each other so tenderly.

And he just said "I just wanna be your family man. Work real hard, girl, 
            C5       G5   A5      G5          F5            G5

Mom and dad worked real hard just to raise us kids. 
F5                                  G5 
They were always there for me and didn't matter what it was I did. 
C5                            A5 
They've seen the hard times, the sickness, and the hell.  
      F5                                           G5 
Well, it didn't really take too long before they found out money, 
 
It don't mean wealth.

Last night I had a dream from Heaven up above.  
A5           G5                F5                  G5 
He taught me how to win your heart and win your love.  
A5                G5                F5 
He said if I was gonna love you, listen to what He said.

Do it His way, oh yeah...
