VanZant song(Help Someone) Well Grand-daddy was a hillbilly scholar blue collar of a man * He came from a school where ya didn't need nothin' * If you couldn't make it with your own two hands * He was backwoods, backwards,used words like "no sir," "yes ma'ma," "by God," "be darned," and "Hell yeah I'm American" * In all the years he walked this earth I swear all he did was work * Said,"The devil dreams on an idle horse so you listen to me, squirt" ** (chorus 1) Don't get too high on the bottle * And get right with The Man * Fight your fights, find the grace in all the things that you can't change * And help somebody if you can ** Now granny said. "Sonny, stick to your gun as if you believe in somethin' no matter what * 'Cause 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 93 * I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed * Takin' her last few breaths of life, smilin' as she said * *(chorus 2)Don't get too high on the bottle * just a little sip every now and then * Fight your fights, find the grace in all the things that you can't change * And help somebody if ya can * And get right with the Man ** "I never let a cowboy make the coffee" * Yeah that's what granny always said to my grand-dad * 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" * * (repeat chorus 1) * * And get right with the Man * And get right with the Man
