about

written about Robert's father & grandfather

lyrics

Granddad worked as a money man and ran the general store
Daddy was born up the coal branch The foothills at his door
Aging trinkets in a wooden box I sit here trying to pick this lock
to learn about my fathers ways, But still I cannot say , I’ve…

Walked a mile in the old mans shoes
How do I, how do I
Carry on with his Golden rules
How do I, How do I
Walk a Mile in the old mans shoes

He worked and spoke as no one could, He stood ten feet talll
far and wide they heard his name, like a sirens call
sitting in his chair that rocks, the silence broken by a ticking clock
Long past twilight hour, never will he call… but I’ll

CHORUS

The mettle of a man is hard to measure
You don’t see it when he’s walking in this land
Not until his passing days do you see the treasure
And he’s resting there, cradled in God’s hands

The things we learned from our fathers days, we just can’t count them all
Holding on to the memory, one day you hope to find the key
Son of mine will you ever see your Granddad inside of me
Pull on your favourite boots, and take a walk with me… And

CHORUS
